Community Corrections members reject effort to give up their WFSE/AFSCME representation and contract.


BULLETIN 5/22/09 12 NOON

Community Corrections members have rejected efforts to give up their WFSE/AFSCME representation and contract after votes were counted this morning at the Public Employment Relations Commission in Olympia.

The vote was:

WFSE/AFSCME - 565
The Guild - 479
No Union - 20

The attempt to decertify WFSE/AFSCME spawned an unprecedented campaign that has revitalized DOC membership and built a strong base for the future of Community Corrections. Thanks to all who worked so hard to back up our Community Corrections members in their daily fight to protect public safety.
