Ohio State Reformatory employee DANNY SALYERS will long remember that dark, dreary day last September when the administration took his job from him. Things didn't look too bright for Salyers--until his union came to the rescue. Salyers, a member of AESCME Local 1741, was suspended from his job for alleged neglect of duty and absenteeism. The AFSCME legal staff took his case to the State Personnel Board of Review (PBR) • AFSCME proved to PBR that Salyers had a doctor's excuse and that he was under a doctor's care. Because of AFSCME's efforts, SALYERS GOT HIS JOB BACK! Because he is a member of AFSCME, Salyers didn't have to stand alone against the administration. He had the full clout of AFSCME on his side. AFSCME, the largest public employee union in Ohio, has the full-time professional staff capable of servicing its membership

Chief Don Russell has taken personnel policies back almost a century, giving special treatment to women in his area: The Second Floor has the toughest dress code in the state service, requiring a jacket over sundresses and hose with dresses and sandals, even in the summer. Jeans are out of the question ! Women with solid work records are passed over for promotions. Flex time is unheard of. As someone who has turned back the elock, we say: "Here's to Don Russell, a man behind his time." AFSCME/OCSEA One Strong Voice for State Employees"
