New York Juvenile Injuries Detention Staff
A union representing workers at state juvenile detention centers says they are taking a beating from youths in their care. The Civil Service Employees Association cites Taberg Residental Center, where 18 staff injuries included three broken bones, a concussion and a dislocated shoulder. CSEA said Taberg is symptomatic of increasing attacks under a policy shift from a correctional model to a so-called "sanctuary model" in disregard for staff welfare.

RETIREMENT AND LAYOFF INCENTIVES
Hi all,
Here's the newest Retirement and Layoff Incentive general agreement for Unit 2.
This agreement will serve as the foundation for institution-specific offers down the road. Any such offers will be within these parameters.
I anticipate having signed copies available and e-mailed out next week, but I wanted to keep everyone up to date.

Wisconsin Juvenile Corrections state employee sent home for wearing union shirt
Demonstrators rallied outside a juvenile corrections facility in north central Wisconsin in a dispute over wearing union T-shirts at work.
About 75 people marched outside Lincoln Hills School in Irma on Monday because a youth counselor was sent home without pay last week for wearing a shirt with a union logo.
Linda Eggert, State Department of Corrections spokeswoman, says the agency will investigate the matter. The DOC sent a memo to staff members Friday stating workers are allowed to wear union clothing. The counselor was sent home Thursday.
