Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee Candidate Mailers

Maryann Maltese, Former Regional Communications Manager with NYS Assembly and NYS Senate continues to receive DACC and NYS Democratic Campaign Committee mailers- pieces stressing there fighting Albany corruption-Where is the information pieces on where the present candidates voted on the Women's Equality Movement and retroactive bill language for those Female Public Officers entitled to retroactive employment earnings?

I read these Mailers daily, concerning State Senator James Gaughran and Non-Incumbent Mike Marcantonio working for New Yorkers-Long Islanders on matters of importance-where is the Legislative Bills to correct Wrong Employment Contract Language that Superiors asked Female Public Employees to sign with the Promise that retroactive corrective bill languages would be introduced to rectify inadequate Earnings?

NYS Legislature often; asked Employees to sign Employment Contracts as NYS is the Largest At-Will Employer for the State of New York-with the Promise as we are all bonded by our Oaths of Service-Corrective Legislative Bill Language for Female Staffers where Employment Roles held without adequate earnings supporting additional Employment Responsibility managed bill languages would be Introduced and Enacted in 2014-2017. It's now 2020-the 100 Anniversary of the WEM (Women's Equality Movement)-Our Corrective Bill Language crafted to repair "corruption issues" has not been introduced.

Presently-the universal protections provided by the 19th Amendment for Women's Employment Matters-for us to file Employment Claims for Retroactive Compensation for Work Performances already Completed with Honor has not be Enacted. Several of us; Including Myself; we are entitled to this Retroactive Bill Languages-and hearing Senatorial High Ranked Staff presently speaking. to advise me that "Let's wait"-WHY? I already waited 7 Sessions for Albany Legislators to step forward and correct Employment Injustice.

I have 18 Years of Public Service Experiences and COVID 19 is not the only State Of Emergency that had Life Threatening matters associated with it. IE- AIDS-HIV Healthcare Crisis, 9-11 Attacks and AfterMath, H1N1, Hurricane Sandy-so listening to Legislators advising me or members of their Staff-I or other Females with approved valid employment claims-should continue to wait for our retroactive earnings-that is unacceptable by NYS Legislature. "Did I say to NYS State while Employed-oh I won't fill out these forms for Community Members um because I haven't been paid true value for my job performance?"

High Ranked Male Staff Members within the NYS Legislature-most of them received adequate Salaries for Job Performances at the time they signed their Employment Contracts; but NYS took the position that Many of us-would wait while we Held the Same Titles-Same Duty Performance and we're still waiting for NYS to finalize our Earnings. It is the wrong Mentality for NYS-as we should know better. In 2014-Governor Cuomo agreed to be the Leader of the Women's Equality Political Party agreeing to champion the need for retroactive earning laws to be enacted. Between 2014-2017; the Governor kept his promise to women employed in the Private Sector-but he has not fulfilled his DUTY to Women he has worked along side with in the Public Sector-while encouraging the Legislature to pass a Pay Hike for the Office of the Governor in 2018; $40,000-raise. That legislative Action commencing before correcting Employment Contracts for Employees the Legislature didn't adhere too-is the corruption we're discussing-yes? The Governor has acknowledged many of us-Good standing; Legislative Staffers were paid inadequately and then not introducing the Bill Language every session for 7 years to correct it-is the worse promise thus far for Public Servant Retiree; Those of us who are not retired, but reached Tenure of Employment-and we're waiting for corrective Legislative Bill Languages for 7 Sessions-outrageous of NYS Senate and NYS Assembly Members to be so nonchalant for those Staff Members; Like Me this 2020 Legislative Season.

As Stated; I voluntarily left Public Service in 2013 and Can reenter Public Service life at any point going forward-I'm in excellent Standing-but was the issue-Is NYS not following through on the Promise that Women who were undermined as Employees of the NYS Legislature-would receive vindication with Retroactive Bill Languages to acknowledge and correct employment measures. I'm entitled to such retroactive aspects for the majority of my service with NYS Legislature-as I held two Employment Titles-paid for one and no annual Increases received although I hold the State Record for District Approval ratings between 72-76% in Marginal Districts. That speaks volumes of the work ethics I had while employed by NYS Legislature. Maryann-was also accepted into NYS Trooper Academy and NYC Department of Corrections while employed by NYS Legislature-but remained with the NYS Legislature. Outstanding Earnings is due to Maryann Maltese by the NYS Legislature for work performances performed and a NYS Actuary should provide the NYS Legislature with an estimate of my back employment earnings immediately.

The Maltese Equality of Earnings Law will correct the purposeful intentional lack of employment acts bestowed upon Female Public Service Officers who were awarded promotional Title Employment Roles-without the Full-Promise of Wages attached to it. When-does that Become a noticeable priority for NYS? The Governor has acknowledged this exists-corrective bill language is required-NYS can not run itself without experiences Public Servants to assist New Yorkers and we're sitting back once again before the Presidential Election without Corrective Bill Language!

I asked the Members of the Legislature on Halloween; a day before All Saint's rises up; when will you rise to the occasion and introduced with enactment aspects immediately associated with the Maltese Equality of Earnings Law? Do Members wait for Raises-if they are entitled too an employment raise in their salary?

Women's Rights of Choice and Right Equality of Earnings is normally One Enormous State Budget Bill Vote and One Vote Only-but for the past 7 Sessions-aspects of an Employment Claims Process has been non-existent. Women-this 100th Anniversary year of our Civil Rights- we can no longer wait for Equality of Earnings not to to be the Standard in New York State Government Employment. By ignoring it-NYS is permitting Local Municipalities like the Township of Huntington to pass resolutions that further strip down former State Legislative Employees from being recipients of Employment Healthcare Packages-and Generic Employment Benefits if they are hired by Huntington as of August 2020 (Huntington Res-222-Smythe). Not every Employee who has worked for NYS-has tenure of service when there Employment ends with NYS- where Employment Healthcare follows them-Shame on the Township of Huntington for eliminating Basic Healthcare Coverages for former State Employees. A good question to ask Councilman Smythe before you cast your vote for him-Is Edmund Smythe going to decline participation in the State Healthcare Program if he wins the State Senate Seat #2? He wants to be one of us-State Legislative Staff (Member) is he going to lead us -or strip us down Further if he wins the State Senate? Edmund Smythe is not one of us-how could he be?

Going Forward-NYS Legislature Must Implement the Maltese Equality of Earnings Law to repair what NYS Legislative Employees are entitled too-and it is not associated with propaganda that "we" are involved in any corruption matters-if we had been-an Arrest/conviction/and loss of Pensions would have occurred already. What does need to occur is for the Legislators to stop clouding what needs to be corrected-"retroactive bill languages providing present or past employees with due employment earnings" immediately.
