Nearly every AFSCME member will be affected by a new, basic health and safety regulation: the Hazard Communication Standard (Hazcom), or Right to Know Law. OSHA estimates that more than 32 million workers are exposed to 650,000 hazardous chemical products in more than 3 million American workplaces. Most affected are public works, transportation and health care. … Expert Diane Brown will give you the inside scoop on the law, explaining what the changes mean to AFSCME members. The webinar will occur at 3 p.m. EST, Aug. 29.

Dept. of Corrections explores ways to stop assaults on prison guards
It's been happening in prisons across the state and right here in the Chippewa valley, corrections officers being assaulted by inmates. WEAU 13 News is finding out what's being done to make sure prisons are a safer place to work. ….. “Before, we had a mechanism for them to deal with them. Since Act 10 we don’t,” said Marty Beil, the executive director of the Wisconsin State Employees Union. Beil said with more experienced officers retiring, newer officers, already exhausted on overtime, have to step in to control a growing prison population. …. The union representative said he doesn’t see much good coming from the secretary's memo and a frank discussion between the DOC, the union and legislators needs to happen.
