AFSCME members in Washington state are demanding solutions to ensure worker safety after one of their co-workers – sister Christa Butters – was assaulted by a patient who had a history of violence.

Demands:
1. Safe staffing levels (meaning more floor staff, not more management)
2. Adequate training provided across all 3 shifts
3. Fixing the physical plant of the wards to ensure safety.
