Union demands action after manager assaults UMD employee

A housekeeper at the University of Maryland College Park was left with bruises after being assaulted by a supervisor, and AFSCME Local 1072 has demanded the university’s president take action. Noting that this is the second time the supervisor has assaulted a housekeeper, Local 1072 president Dawn Jackson called on UMD president Wallace Loh to investigate and pointed out that when campus workers “have similar types of altercations they are automatically terminated,” urging that the supervisor “be treated in the same manner.” ​
