Rotterdam town worker says ex-boss sexually harassed her on job
Rotterdam employee claims to be a target of unwanted sex advances

By Paul Nelson

ROTTERDAM — A municipal employee alleges the head of the Town Public Works Department created a hostile work environment by making repeated unwanted sexual advances toward her and then retaliated when she rebuffed him.

The town worker, Vicki Carrieri, contends that her one- time supervisor Michael Griesemer demanded sexual favors from her in town offices and other locations as well as vehicles owned and leased by the town, according to individuals familiar with the situation and the notice of claim, which was filed in late February.

The alleged inappropriate sexual and verbal harassment occurred from August of 2005 until the present day, according to the claim, which is a precursor to a lawsuit.

In the document, Carrieri, 48, claims Griesemer groped her, treated her more harshly that colleagues and made her perform duties outside of her job description.

As a result, she claims to have suffered severe emotional distress and lost pay she would have otherwise earned. Carrieri is seeking unspecified monetary damages.

At one point during her alleged ordeal Griesemer told Carrieri that "if she had made the right decision years ago, he would have protected her and she would have been going through this," the claim contends.

Griesemer and Carrieri are still employed by Rotterdam in different departments.

She now works for the Rotterdam Senior Citizens' Center even though the town's web site lists her as a DPW clerical staffer. Carrieri's attorney, Joseph Dougherty did not return calls Friday to his Albany office seeking comment. Reached at her home Friday, Carrieri also declined comment.

Attorney Chris Massaroni, who is representing Griesemer said: "On behalf of Michael, he vehemently denies any acts of wrongdoing." He declined further comment.

Rotterdam Supervisor Harry Buffardi confirmed last week that his administration is "actively investigating" accusations of sexual harassment by a female employee but declined to offer any more details because of the ongoing probe.

He also would not confirm that Carrieri is the complainant in the claim though other people familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak on the issue because it is a personnel matter say Buffardi launched the probe not long after he took office in January after the woman complained to him about the alleged sexual harassment..................>>>>...................>>>>.................Read more: http://www.timesunion.com/loca.....69.php#ixzz1s16lnKA3

Power and authority sometimes leads to corruption and I'll bet the town settles out of court on this one.

Everything is coming to surface.....this is just the beginning......

The REGIME will have to swallow their unending agenda and face what has been happening in this Town for a long time.

Whether or not he has done this in the past is irrevelant......it's what is happening now....and people knew about it all along.....even before the election.

And two ex lawmen on the Board.....ex law man in Legislature......the whole Government is corrupt ...right up to the Secret Service at the White House according to the news this AM.

Womanizing ...that's what ya call it....and there's plenty to go around.

Unless you have been there.....no need to comment further.

WHOA THEY BUCKAROO......So are you saying that the last rotterdam regime.....REVITALIZE ROTTERDAM.....knew about these allegations and did NOTHING????? Are you saying that the tommasone administration knew and did NOTHING?
So to my point........it most certainly is relevant if there are allegations that he had done this in the past and exactly 'how far' in the past!!

Ms. Carrieri is a lovely and nice young lady. I have no idea how this will all turn out.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
