Court Says State Can Revoke Union Official's E-mail Rights

An appellate panel in Albany, N.Y., has upheld the right of a state agency to revoke e-mail privileges from a union official who used a government computer to communicate with other members of his labor organization. New York's Appellate Division, 3rd Department, said the Public Employment Relations Board was within its authority when it overturned an administrative law judge's determination on the matter.
