[A-List] Employment Available - (California) Prison plan aims to fill 3, 200 jobs

[The Buffalo In Da' Midst]

The darling 'union' of the 'left', the SEIU, needs the
prison-industrial complex too!

"Along with the correctional officers, representatives of three unions
representing non-sworn prison employees also hammered the corrections
department over vacancies within their job categories.

"Our members don't see the department taking any progressive steps to
solve these problems," said Marc Bautista, a vice president of Service
Employees International Union Local 1000, which represents about
14,000 prison workers."


"Joyce Hayhoe, the chief lobbyist for the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation, said an aggressive recruiting program
that will include outsourcing some of its background investigations
will help fill the 3,200 vacancies in a rank-and-file force slotted
for 31,000 jobs."
