A longtime state employee and union official who was accused of inappropriately using time at work and his workplace email account to conduct union and personal business has won the right to return to work, according to an arbitrator’s decision.

Usher Piller, a Management Specialist in the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and the chief steward for Public Employees Federation Division 191, is expected to receive back pay of about $235,000 for the time he was suspended from his post. He also will receive compensation for vacation and sick days that would have been due to him.
