Tell Cook County: Correctional Officers Deserve Dignity and Respect!
Tell Toni Preckwinkle: Correctional Officers Deserve Dignity and Respect!
Dear President Preckwinkle,
After indicating to Teamsters Local 700 that additional hazard pay could be negotiated, the county has rejected the Cook County Department of Corrections (CCDOC) officers' request for fairness.
This is outrageous given the fact that CCDOC officers are on the front line of the pandemic, unable to practice social distancing because of the confined conditions at the jail. Officers are putting their health, and the health of their families on the line every day. This is in addition to the other safety issues officers have to contend with daily.
CCDOC officers are keeping the community safer every day under these extra stressful conditions. The officers deserve hazard pay. I am disappointed and deeply concerned by Cook County's failure to protect officers.
Furthermore, one of six Chicagoans who have contracted the virus have caught this virus from the Cook County Jail, and too many correctional officers have already lost their lives by courageously working on the front lines.
If ever there was a group of workers who deserved hazard pay, it is the correctional officers at the Cook County Jail. Do the right thing, provide hazard pay for ALL officers!
