  • Prohibited Practice charge filed on Corrections.

    The department of Corrections told NAPE/AFSCME, that they plan to do a Vol 12 hour shaft at Tecumseh Correctional Institution. They then held meeting at Tecumseh on the issue. NAPE asked them to cease from having thse meetings as that would constitute a prohibited practice. They did not. NAPE informed them they need to comply with State Statute and the Bargaining Contract, as proceeding forward would be a violation of both the Collective Bargaining Agreement and State Statute. They did not!

    Therefore to protect workers rights we took action!

    NAPE/AFSCME has filed a prohibited practice charge against the The department of Corrections. We also have 2 grievances filed in the matter.
