5/10: AFSCME Council 13 has just been officially notified by the Governor's Office and the Dept. of Corrections that the Correctional Medical Services WILL NOT be privatized. This issue is now moot and all services will continue to be performed by AFSCME Council 13 members. Council 13 is well aware that viral misinformation is out there which should accordingly be ignored by our membership.
