MD child welfare social workers win increase

1/31/2017

After a yearlong battle, state child welfare workers in Maryland have won fair compensation. “This would not have been possible without AFSCME Local 112 and is a reminder that when we stand and fight together, we WIN!” said AFSCME Maryland. Local 112 met with legislators, marched against management and “tirelessly” battled for increasing the salaries for Child Welfare Social Workers. “The fight for fair pay for all social workers and state employees continues!” added AFSCME Maryland. Read more on AFSCME Maryland's website

Today’s Labor Quote:  Cesar Chavez

1/31/2017

 
“The consumer boycott is the only open door in the dark corridor of nothingness down which farm workers have had to walk for many years. It is a gate of hope through which they expect to find the sunlight of a better life for themselves and their families.” 

Labor Humor: Good Excuse

1/31/2017

 
Picture
For thirty years, Johnson had arrived at work at 9 a.m. on the dot. He had never missed a day and was never late. So when 9 a.m. passed one day without Johnson's arrival, it caused a sensation. All work ceased, and the boss himself, looking at his watch and muttering, came out into the corridor. Finally, precisely at 10 a.m., Johnson showed up, clothes dusty and torn, his face scratched and bruised, his glasses bent. He limped painfully to the time clock, punched in and explained "I tripped and rolled down two flights of stairs in the subway. Nearly killed myself." The boss responded, "And rolling down two flights of stairs took you a whole hour?"
