A Statewide Recall of all Prison Industry Authority (PIA) bar-soap throughout the entire department. After briefing and consultation, it was determined all PIA bar-soap was to be confiscated from all inmates, staff, warehouses, storage areas etc and all inmates would receive a fresh bar of non-PIA soap from the canteen / warehouse / CIM.
All inmates were informed of the recall (via MAC representatives) and were subsequently afforded with a replacement bar of soap.
To facilitate the collection and distribution of all bar-soap, the Watch ordered the yard closed to all inmate program pending completion of the soap collection & distribution process.
PROTECTED ACTIVITY The state and the union shall not impose or threaten to impose reprisals on employees, to discriminate or threaten to discriminate against employees, or otherwise to interfere with, restrain or coerce employees because of their exercise of rights guaranteed by the Ralph C. Dills ACT MOU 5.03 section A
Wonder what genius brainstormed this one up? Could it have been "management"?
ReplyDeletewhy was it recalled? that seems pretty extreme unless there was a serious contamination in the soap.
ReplyDeleteas if being understaffed doesn't keep co's busy enough, now they have to worry about passing out soap?! I can almost bet the new soap is costing more than the old soap...
ReplyDeleteJust pass out the soap. Its what you where hired to do. If you feel you are better than that, well you have the option of quitting. We both know you wont do that, so stop your whinning. There are plenty of citizens that are willing and able to do your job and for less....
DeleteSo, "There are plenty of citizens that are willing and able to do your job and for less....". Really? I don't see anybody running to sign up for a job with this Department. As a matter of fact alot of employees are jumping off of this sinking ship. Get your facts straight before you make an ignorant comment like that. Just saying....
DeletePerhaps that is why the Department needed to transfer so many people throughout the state. To hand out soap?.
ReplyDeleteI don't hand out anything my lead porter does it all.
ReplyDeleteA smart i/m would pick up on this, take a bar and get it out somehow to his scum sucking, bloated attorney, who in turn would send it off for analysis and find out it was a bad batch of chemicals too strong or whatever, and then, class action style, sue for skin irritations, inflamed rashes, lost vision, you know, the whole money making routine.
