AFSCME Council 3 members in AFSCME Local 1535 from the Department of General Services won safety enhancements by fighting together! Security Officers were concerned about the lack of safety for staff working at the entrance of 500 N. Calvert St.
Working together with their union, members came together to ask management to enclose the desk for the protection and safety of staff members. Members worked together to urge management to take action to fix this safety gap through their labor-management committee. Earlier this month, management finally enclosed the office securing a victory for Local 1535 and all security officers!
