NY corrections officers want Dem prison-reform repeal, say deal ending strike 'slap in the face'
Fox News
Correction officers in New York's prison system have been on strike for nearly two weeks, and a tentative agreement appears to have been reached.
The mediated deal was reached late Thursday between the New York State Correctional Officers, the government-affiliated corrections officers union, Police Benevolent Association (NYSCOPBA) and the state's Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS). "She doesn't care, she cares about the inmates and their rights. [The deal] is a slap in every officer's face." Jamie Joseph is a U.S. Politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering transgender and culture issues, the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, and stateside legislative developments.
However, since some 15,000 correction workers have been on a "wildcat strike," they were not present during negotiations, and a spokesperson for the striking workers told CBS the deal does not go far enough.
