Lary Bickett,Union Representative for Woodworkers Local Lodge W38 I.A.M.Corrections and
Support Staff,shared that Corrections Officers are facing severe staffing shortages and are not
compensated adequately for the crucial work being performed. Understaffing has reached a
critical level posing serious risk to the safety of both officers and inmates. Compensation does
not reflect the demand and high stress nature of Corrections Officers jobs. Wage disparity
demoralizes the Officers and makes it challenging to attract and retain qualified individuals. Lary
urged the Commissioners to 1)increase staffing levels,2)fair compensation review making them
comparable with other counties, and 3)invest in training and support programs.
