OCSEA Chapter 6550 PCI

Congratulations to Officer Hammond on receiving Officer of the Year at PCI. He also serves on our executive board for Chapter 6550.

Thank you

Public-Service Workers to Supreme Court: Don’t Silence Our Voices AFSCME and other public-service unions urge the Supreme Court not to silence the voices of workers.

Maggots With a Side of Dirt? What Privatization Does to Prison Food The meals served to prisoners have been a catalyst for riots throughout history. Prison advocates and workers say outsourcing the kitchens to companies only makes them worse.

Granted they start out way lower than we do here in Ohio, but wouldn't that be something if good ole Governor Kasich signed an Executive Order to raise our pay 2K a year for the next 3 years. Would never happen since he wants all of us to not have jobs in the first place. We need to elect a pro labor friendly governor next gubernatorial election.

Bill would raise W.Va. CO pay by $6K

This petition is an important step in getting an economic package that sustains OCSEA members' families, ensures that health care is maintained and makes sure that contract rights--like leaves and scheduling--gives members the flexibility they deserve to care for their families.

Please sign the petition to send to Governor Kasich and have your voice heard! https://goo.gl/DsjNus

As many of you already may know as I posted 3 weeks ago that I put in for my transfer to CCI. I finally received that call yesterday morning and by the end of the day received my letter of confirmation that I in fact received that transfer as well as my start date as a CO at CCI. This coming week will be my final week at PCI. I have enjoyed working the past 4+ years with all of you and have gained many new friendships to boot. I am excited for this new journey but I know I am going to miss working with everyone at PCI. On that note, I am wanting to get together with anyone and everyone from PCI from any and all shifts who can and wants to make it out to Roosters in Grove City on Stringtown Rd. after work next Saturday. I hope all of those who can and want to make it out will. Let me know.

'Right to work' could be on the ballot in Ohio with support from lawmakers Republican Reps. John Becker and Craig Riedel have proposed a package of six proposed constitutional amendments targeting how unions operate and are funded in Ohio.

Mark your calendars for the Feb. 24 Working People's Day of Action event. https://goo.gl/qhpdxY
