Senator Jessica King To Hold Corrections Listening Sessions

State Senator Jessica King has announced  that will be hosting a legislative listening sessions focusing on the impact of workplace changes in our correctional institutions.

The gentle reader will remember that I informed them about the ongoing problems going on in our state correctional institutions. These problems are stemming directly from Act 10 and Act 38, which are putting our correction officers directly in harm's way.  Despite informational rallies aimed at raising awareness of the situation, these problems are continuing.

    1. No, they're not exactly geographically convenient for Milwaukee, but if you can make it up there, I'd think it would be worth the trip.

  2. Thanks for posting this. As an employee at Waupun who's going to retire in three years Walker has ruined my pension. I was planning to call in sick for as many days as I can each year, then work the next shift on overtime to jack up the basis for my early retirement. We all used to do this since the rules gave the highest paid the first chance for OT.

    Recall Walker!

    1. Don't worry, they just applied for a couple more million dollars to cover the spike in overtime costs.
