CSEA remembers fallen Westchester County Unit member Maria Coto
WESTCHESTER COUNTY CASEWORKER KILLED ON THE JOB
Our union is mourning the loss of Westchester County Unit member Maria Coto, who died June 19th from injuries sustained when she was brutally attacked on May 14th while working in the Peekskill community. Coto was a longtime caseworker with the Westchester County Department of Social Services. Her murder has been devastating for her loved ones and co-workers and has prompted shows of solidarity from CSEA-represented caseworkers across New York State.
