In the article, we recognize and explore the role of correctional officers in the preservation of life - @CIPSRT_ICRTSP @UccoGord @UCCOWilkins

Depuis tôt ce matin, les agents correctionnels se mobilisent contre des reculs à leurs droits au congé pour accident du travail. ✊👇

Since early morning, Correctional Officers are mobilizing against any stepbacks regarding their Injury-on-duty leave. ✊👇

@OPSEU @OPSEUSmokey @UCCOSACCweb The #fakenews is your tweet. We are fighting for our members' safety! Learn facts: * Learn our union's name * Learn our structure * UCCO-SACC-CSN is not involved in the raid of your members * You gaslighting your members at this time is "dispicable". Help them don't mislead them!

This makes as much sense as releasing our elderly in old age homes. These facilities are like a cruise ships as well and contain the most vulnerable, difference is they are not criminals who pose an extra threat to Canadians. Work to protect in place @KPateontheHill @CBCNews

Stronger measures to contain people in their homes are a possibility if the guidelines are disobeyed. cbc.ca/1.5505767

The key to keeping the front line strong in our federal institutions will be to make testing available for front line workers including correctional officers. @PattyHajdu @BillBlair @CSC_SCC_en #FlattenTheCurve

It is time to protect the borders of Canadian Penitentiaries and limit staff entry...only critical staff must remain...#lowerthecurve @BillBlair @CSC_SCC_en @JustinTrudeau

It was an honour today to lay a wreath at the Peace Officers Memorial wall on behalf of all members of UCCO-SACC-CSN. Thank you to the members of GVI who joined me in this honour. It was a solemn but very proud day on the Hill.

At the @CIPSRT_ICRTSP meeting in Regina. It is great to see that the mental health of Public Safety workers is being taken so seriously. Thank you @RalphGoodale for your continued support and thank you @R_Ricciardelli for your advocacy for extending the memorial grant to COs.

Senators, please do a genuine review of testimony given by the professionals on Bill C83 before you vote. Leaving CSC high and dry to work with contingencies will only put inmates and staff at risk in our already dangerous workplace. Pass then evaluate. @RalphGoodale @SenateCA

Today the Senate will vote on Bill C83. This bill, although not perfect, needs to pass without a 48 hr JR. I hope that the Senate considers the very difficult and dangerous position our members will be in if it is defeated. @RalphGoodale @JudithSeidman @SenateCA

Isn't it ironic? @UCCOWilkins @UccoGord @FrederickLebeau @UCCO_NP @UCCOMatt @Crusader_4_COs

" The union that represents workers inside federal penitentiaries has been sounding the alarm about drones and illegal drugs entering prisons for years." Corrections Canada turns to detection equipment to fight contraband drone drops | CBC News cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Jeff Wilkins, UCCO-SACC-CSN’s national president talks about the Prison Needle Exchange Program after yesterday’s demonstration. As It Happens: Friday Edition | CBC Radio cbc.ca/radio/asithapp…

Productive meeting with @PatFinniganMP regarding the prison needle exchange program and Bill c83. The time is now to consult with correctional officers on these serious issues.

Today UCCO engaged hundreds of citizens of Miramichi at the local farmers market to gather signatures to petion against the governments inmate needle exchange program. We learned this is not an agenda the citizens of Miramichi support. @RalphGoodale @PatFinniganMP

A candid talk today with MP M. Tabbara (Grand Valley inst.)about our concerns on the prison needle exchange program. Mr Tabbara asked many questions on the issue & asked for more info. He will raise our concerns with other party members. Thanks for meeting us. @MarwanTabbaraMP

@RalphGoodale Thanks for posting this @RalphGoodale however your not getting to the point. CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS who perform all first responder roles behind our fences and walls are not represented in this benefit. We sacrifice ourselves in the line of public safety as well..

All Canadians stand w/ those who risk their lives to keep us safe and w/ their families when tragedy strikes. The new Memorial Grant for First Responders provides $300,000 to families of first responders who die as a result of their duties. publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/bt/mmrl-gr…

Congratulations to the "Loose Screws" from Dorchester to bringing home the trophy during this years UCCO SACC CSN Atlantic regional softball tournament. Great day..
