Demand Safety for New Mexico Corrections Officers and Staff
Honorable Governor Lujan Grisham and New Mexico Corrections Department
New Mexico state corrections officers and staff are risking their lives every day to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, New Mexico Corrections Department has refused to involve New Mexico State Corrections Officers’ Union, AFSCME Local 3422 (Council 18) to come up with a plan to ensure the safety and protection of corrections workers on the front line.
Across the country, prison and jail administrators are sharing their COVID-19 security plans with officers and staff out of respect and transparency. However, this is not the case in New Mexico as state corrections officers and staff are left without proper safety protocols, personal protective equipment, and training to handle changes in the facilities brought on by COVID-19.
Join us in demanding New Mexico Corrections Department work with AFSCME Local 3422 (Council 18) to implement safety protocols and ensure the safest workplace possible for all state corrections officers and staff!
