September Update

Contract negotiations begin for us on September 27th.

Arbitration is set for October 22nd for the Sick Time use grievance.

And the Afscme Corrections Officers at the Workhouse filed cards with the Bureau of Mediation Services to vote on a change of Representation. They want to join MNPEA. That means NEGOTIATIONS HAVE STOPPED FOR AFSCME, AT LEAST THE WORKHOUSE. This means AFSCME can't settle and set the pattern! It also means if the Workhouse CO's come over it  will never matter again what AFSCME settles for because the workhouse are essential employees like us.
