Link to Oct 6, 2010 Awareness Training page Sept 15 update: CSEA union officials Tuesday afternoon blasted the village for failing to supervise two men who died last week when they entered a manhole and for shifting responsibility for the tragedy onto the victims. The union officials said they had intended to refrain from commenting on the tragedy while an investigation by the state Department of Labor's Public Employee Safety and Health bureau was continuing. But they changed course after hearing Village Administrator Michael Blau's news conference Thursday. Blau suggested that both victims had taken it upon themselves to enter the hole and had not been told to do so. "They were not stopped from going down there, either," Riccaldo said Tuesday. full story re the CSEA statement in the article linked below as a pdf file
