This is Ryan Hanson. He is an organizer with AFSCME. His card has been left at the homes of our Hennepin County Detention Deputies and Dispatchers.
He, along with Hennepin County Workhouse Corrections Officer Dale Blom, Minnesota State Patrol 911 Dispatcher Megan Hennessey, and Minnesota DOC Stillwater Prison Corrections Officer Bill Stephens are visiting our homes with lists they claim are "public information."
I then must ask the question. How would Minnesota State Correctional Officers, Minnesota State Patrol 911 Operators and Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility Corrections Officers feel if their names and home addresses were published? As fellow Corrections Officers isn't this a major security violation? How unnerving would it be to your family to have two strangers at their door asking for you by name as a CO? Do you really trust a Union that thinks this is OK?
Would you have a problem if your private data was passed out for people to knock on your door?
This tells me AFSCME has no respect for workers, and especially no regard for the safety of Corrections Officers.

Why would your issue have been with Ryan and not the fact that the information could be publicly obtained through FOIA requests? I get that this is really old but the fact that the information can be garnered through the right request was not his fault. Almost all public employee information can be obtained through the correct request. It is made available to prevent the government from hiding things and is likely based on efforts to prevent nepotism and favoritism.
I am perplexed why in August of 2022 you would comment on a post from 2013. Because the information CANNOT be publicly obtained!Home addresses of CO's are not public information.
