The New York Unified Court System and a union representing court employees on Long Island are deeply divided about which of the state’s top administrative judges should oversee members’ disciplinary matters, according to a lawsuit filed by the former on Monday.
The Unified Court System named the Suffolk County Court Employees Association and its president Gerard Gwinn defendants in a complaint that asks a Manhattan trial court to stay arbitration of a grievance the union filed in February that alleges the judiciary is violating their collective bargaining agreement.
