Atlanta Jailers: Workplace Isn’t Safe
(Atlanta Journal Constitution) — Fifteen Atlanta corrections officers and their union representative stood outside the city jail Wednesday with a megaphone and a message: They are not safe at their place of work.
Charles Clark, executive director of the local 1644 district of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, called for a change in leadership, an increase in staffing, shorter work days and more monitored jail conditions for the city jail employees.
