Northwest Ohio Employees File Suit to Knock Down Another Janus Restriction
AFSCME has a reputation in Ohio for refusing Janus rights to employees, and the Foundation and employees aren't letting it slide.
Forced-dues political power and public sector monopoly-bargaining create these types of irresponsible situations:
Tom Shaer, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Corrections, said the agency couldn’t release its copy of the decision because the matter remains under appeal. And Anders Lindall, spokesman for the union representing Xadrian McCraven did not return repeated phone calls seeking comment.
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 represent McCraven.
Shaer said McCraven has a long and troubled history working for the state. In fact, he has been fired twice from state jobs.
Corrections officials fired McCraven in January 2014 after a newspaper reported he had been arrested many times. He’d previously been fired, in 2012, from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
Published reports indicated he was fired in 2012 after it came to light that he had been sending hundreds of lewd and inappropriate emails.
McCraven appealed that firing, and Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration decided to rehire him because of the cost of fighting the appeal, Shaer said.
