MAKE THE CALL TO SAVE DOC JOBS

STOP MASSIVE CUTS IN COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS! Governor’s budget lays off 500 Community Corrections staff!

Those with less than three years of service would be laid off!

It is time to make our voice heard. It’s time to unite with our fellow 40,000 WFSE/AFSCME members. Demand that the governor listen to DOC members’ concerns. Her “all-cuts” budget harms public safety and lays off dedicated Community Corrections staff!

Call your legislators at 1-800-562-6000. Tell them to save Community Corrections jobs by opposing the governor’s all-cuts budget, HB 1244 and SB 5600. Also: urge them to oppose SB 5288, the bill reducing community supervision and ask them to support HB 1792, the bill increasing Community Corrections officers’ search and arrest authority.

Or, go
here to send an e-mail to your legislators opposing the DOC cuts.
