On Monday, June 23rd, thirty-nine union and family members from local 3416, the Rushville Treatment and Detention Facility traveled to Springfield for an AFSCME Council 31 rally and march. Union members marched for a fair contract that addresses the rising cost of living and healthcare. We had a good turnout, thousands of members from around the state attended the rally and march. We had a simple message. We want a fair contract now! Unfortunately, we were not loud enough. The governor and his team did not come to the table to settle the contract. The union has invoked the first stage impasse requirement of mediation and has agreed to extend the current contract through the first session of mediation.
