MEDFORD — One of the most important tasks that our CSEA Department of Transportation Region 10 (Babylon) Local 508 members do is to keep the agency’s vehicles in top shape.
Workers have to dedicate many hours to making sure equipment is running effectively, along with preparing for inclement weather and their routine, daily responsibilities.
“Routine maintenance on working equipment is essential for dependable service of job duties,” said Local 508 member Vincent Pasquarelli, who works as a tree pruner.
