CSEA Local 830 President Jerry Laricchiuta represented CSEA and organized labor at a KIOLI Business Summit Panel at the New Hyde Park Inn on June 11. The event was hosted by the Long Island Press and touted the concept of “Keep it on Long Island.” Instead of spending your money at a national restaurant or supermarket chain, maybe try to go to a local mom and pop store, so your money will be reinvested in the Long Island economy.

 

Laricchiuta participated in a panel discussion on Hiring, Training and Retraining employees, with Carolyn Doyle of Lloyd Staffing and Scott Klaire of MCL Dental Lab. Laricchiuta discussed the necessity of training and retraining employees that are represented by CSEA, such as law enforcement and medical staff, who constantly need more training and certifications. Laricchiuta went on to say, “The same goes for almost every title we represent, from our Parks and Public Works employees to our clerical staff. New technology comes out whether it be computer software or a piece of hardware that an employee needs to learn how to use. It is a constant learning process.”

 

Laricchiuta touted the CSEA workforce and all the different jobs they can do. He said, “It’s important to come to a setting like this with some private sector and business representatives and inform them of just how much our civil servants contribute to Nassau County.”
