CHENANGO COUNTY - On Thursday, the Evening Sun published a story about a Chenango County report that determined Department of Works employees organized a strike during a November snowstorm that paralyzed the area with more than a half of foot of snowfall.

A member of the DPW reached out to clarify information and report an error in the story. The article incorrectly identified Eric Graham as a Heavy Motor Equipment Operator who did not show up for work.

Graham is a road maintenance supervisor/foreman and he did report for duty during the November 2024 snowstorm.

The county launched an internal investigation in the wake of a November 21-23 storm, which brought 8 to12 inches of snow, causing widespread power outages and road hazards.

According to a new report released by the Chenango County Board of Supervisors, nearly a dozen DPW employees participated in a strike, which investigators classified as illegal under New York’s Taylor Law.

Graham discussed the report’s findings and shared his perspective on the night the incident occurred. He clarified the incident should only be called an “alleged strike,” but also admitted it wasn’t right and that it should never happen again.
