Correctional Specialist, David Niles, of the Coyote Ridge Corrections Center (CRCC) in Connell is grateful to join the ranks of Teamsters 117 once again.
Yesterday, in a ceremony in Olympia, the Governor and our union's Secretary-Treasurer, John Scearcy, signed our 2017-2019 DOC collective bargaining agreement.
The new issue of the Guardian, our newsletter for Teamsters who work at the Department of Corrections, is now available.
In last year’s interest arbitration hearing, one of our priorities for Teamsters working in BFOQ positions at WCCW and MCCCW was to address the issue of excessive mandatory overtime.
By standing together in our union, we’ve accomplished some major successes at the DOC.
Join us for one of our DOC summer BBQs. We will be meeting all across the state to celebrate getting our contract funded.
Early this morning, the state released its proposed operating budget for the 2017-2019 biennium. All indications are that the legislature will vote on the agreement today and that the budget will be signed into law to avert a government shutdown and temporary layoffs of state employees.
The Governor announced this morning that legislators have reached an agreement “in principle” on an operating budget for 2017-2019.
Many of you, perhaps more than 3,000 DOC Teamsters, received notice from the Department that you will be laid off if the legislature is unable to reach an agreement over an operating budget for the coming biennium.
