ABOUT OUR CAUCUS:
We are TSEU members who work in TJJD facilities, halfway houses, and district offices all over the state. We are JCO’s, Case Managers, Teachers, Parole Officers, and Support Staff. We are building a strong union in our workplaces to fight for: better pay and benefits in order to attract and retain quality staff; increased staffing levels; stopping closures; a fair grievance procedure with an appeal step outside the agency.
Caucus Legislative Goals 2021-22
As voted on by caucus delegates to the 2020 TSEU General Assembly. These goals will carry us through our next General Assembly in 2022.
-
Take steps to prevent agency turnover including: Opposing closures of TJJD facilities and privatization, full funding, hiring additional staff to cover workloads and shift standards.
-
Include Youth Development Coaches and other hazardous positions in the LECOSRF 20-year retirement plan.
-
Allow for Justice on the job: hazard pay, PPE, and other safety measures, a cross-agency CAPPS review and feedback that does not penalize individual agencies.
-
Transparency in agency and facility re-organization with due process.
