DRC union assembly uses Facebook to educate public about safe, efficient prisons

Oct. 5, 2009 - Help OCSEA inform your co-workers, friends and neighbors about the need for safe and efficient prisons in our Ohio communities.

Join the Facebook cause now so you can share these five important points:

1. Safe staffing levels in the Ohio Correctional Facilities.
2. Generate support for union proposals to deal with budget shortfalls
3. Stop Private Prisons
4. Support OCSEA Corrections Assembly proposals to reduce the exempt to bargaining unit ratios
5. Support the OCSEA Corrections Assembly proposals to perform essential duties by bargaining unit employees where they belong and save money

Over the last year, OCSEA Correction and Rehabilitation Assembly activists have been participating in joint budget discussions with DRC management.

In fact, assembly leaders proposed that the state make the private prison in Grafton public saving $6 million. However, this proposal has not been implemented yet.

The union also made several proposals to reorganize areas in DR&C central office and institutions saving $10 million.
