As a new DCYF employee, Michele Anslow was dismayed when her entire unit was dissolved and employees were reassigned to less than ideal roles and offices.
I write this with a broken heart. We now mourn the loss of another one of our union siblings, friends, coworkers, and confidants due to domestic violence. We grapple with the tragedy of a child experiencing life-threatening harm and left to navigate the rest of her life without her mother.
Two WFSE Members Murdered in Past Month - Take Action Now to Stop Domestic Violence
A Letter from WFSE President Mike Yestramski
Dear union siblings,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to tell you that one of our union siblings at Eastern State Hospital was murdered this weekend in an apparent act of intimate partner violence. This is the second WFSE member who’s been murdered by an intimate partner in less than a month, following the death of a member at the University of Washington a few weeks back.
On this National Library Workers Day, AFSCME library workers deserve to be recognized for the value they bring to our diverse communities and the vital services they provide anyone who asks for help.
The WFSE executive committee released the statement below regarding the shootings in Atlanta and the increase in anti-Asian racism across our country. WFSE leadership stands in solidarity with our Asian and Pacific Islander union siblings and their communities who are angry and grieving as a result of these despicable actions.
WFSE received notification from the state that IT employees with pending IT cases will be notified Monday, March 22, on the status of the backlog.
The state received more than 1,000 requests following implementation of the new IT professional structure, and that backlog of cases has nearly been cut in half.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the status of your IT case, please contact your HR representative.
