ZNY HDOF CTLR EXPRESSED CONCERN REGARDING MGMNT'S DECISION TO CONTINUE WITH TFC FLOWS REGARDLESS OF WX CONDITIONS.

Narrative

TSTMS WERE FORMING THROUGHOUT OUR SECTOR (73). THE R CTLR REQUESTED THE TFC TO BE STOPPED. I SAT DOWN ON THE RA SIDE; THE SUPVR SAID TO STOP THE TFC; WHICH WE DID. THERE WERE STILL A COUPLE OF AIRPLANES IN THE SECTOR; 2 DID NOT DEVIATE. THEY WERE N OF THE CELL. ACR X WENT THROUGH AND SAID HE NEEDED THE DIFFERENT ALT DUE TO THE RIDE. ZOB WOULD NOT TAKE HIM AT WRONG DIRECTION FOR FLT. THEN I HEARD HIM SAY HE COULD NOT MAINTAIN DRVSM. I TOLD THE SUPVR THIS AND TO STOP ANYTHING COMING OUR WAY. HE WAS ON THE PHONE TELLING THE FRONT DESK WHAT WAS HAPPENING. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ORDERED TO LET THE TFC GO THROUGH THE SECTOR. I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT SAFE AND HE SAID IT WAS AN ORDER. BOTH I AND THE R SIDE REQUESTED TO BE RELIEVED. HE TOLD US THERE WAS NOBODY TO GET US UP. WHEN THE NEXT 'SET' OF PLANES CAME THEY IMMEDIATELY DEVIATED S TO GET AWAY FROM THE WX. THIS CAUSED A GREAT AMOUNT OF CONFUSION BTWN THE R AND RA SIDE AS WELL AS SECTORS TO THE N AND S. THE R SIDE IDENTED A POSSIBLE SEPARATION ERROR WITH AN ACFT WE WERE FORCED TO WORK; BUT NEVER ENTERED OUR SECTOR DUE TO THE WX. WE ALSO WERE WORKING IN URET WHICH CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF CONFUSION AS TO WHO WAS DOING WHAT WITH EACH ACFT.
