Hochul threatening the National Guard Prison Customs in the midst of a strike correction: MP
As a strike of corrective officers The prosthesis on its 17th day, the New York government Kathy Hochul distributed more than 3,000 National Guard soldiers to keep a duty in 41 of the 42 prison institutions, and without any firm ending, the situation, some close to the situation, says that in some aspects it is more dangerous than a combat task.
“My husband did a combat schedule, as he was shot, and he never called me on his combat deployment and said,” Oh, my God, I have to get out of here, “” one wife of a National Guard Soldier in an interview told Fox News Digital. “But within the deadline, he said for days,” I have to get out of here. “
State Republican legislator whose district includes influential prisons has also shared concerns with Fox News Digital, complaining that the guards have been thrown into a situation without proper training and fear that, if injured, they will not be acceptable to the federal benefits of VA.
Hochul awarded National Guard troops at the facilities after 15,000 repair officers (COS) in almost all prisons in New York, they started from work on February 17, citing “uncertain” working conditions for which the Humane Alternatives were adopted by the ASSS-controlled prosecution in 2022.

The stop law limits the solitary confinement and instead focus on other rehabilitation methods. Protesters are also mandate to work 24-hour shifts in some cases, they say, while dealing with violent prisoners who are a constant threat to both violence and smuggling in weapons and smuggling.
Now, the National Guard soldiers who were thrown into a mix experience long hours without the appropriate training of prisoners – putting them in being similar to the conditions in which the COS protested – according to the Republican MP, who has seven prison in his district.
“So there is one unit that is a unit of military police, but none of them are dressed because many of them are very young,” ” State Republican Senator Daniel Stec told Fox News Digital. “And again, they are strong back, and they are young and awake, but they are not trained for this work, and it is scary for them.”
“They are not in the Middle East, but I heard anecdotal, many of them saying,” The situation I was in, I felt less threatened when I was deployed abroad than in a prison in New York, “Stec recalled.” And they know they walk among criminals, and many are very dangerous people and not dressed for it. “
Stec added that “the orders where they are indefinitely”, and he said he was worried because they were “activated by a state orders, which means that if they were injured within one of these facilities, they do not meet the conditions for caring out of your”.
When he arrived for a comment, a state spokesman National Guard They said that the soldiers had passed “basic training in a task that demanded that they obliged,” but did not give details.

In the meantime, Hochul threatened legal procedure and endings for thousands of attackers who refuse to return to work. Since the strike did not sanction the Government Union COS, the attackers violated the state law by Taylor. The union encouraged officers to return to work.
In response, hundreds of officers Set up a rally In Albany on Tuesday, urging the attackers to “hold the line”. It is unclear how many officers have returned to work, but a spokesman for the State Department for Repair and Supervision of the New York Community, told Fox News Digital that “they were” breaking up and canceling insurance, they began to be issued to repairs officers who failed to return to work. “

“I would love to be able to settle it all and I can talk to all my hearts with all my colleagues, we are all in the same boat,” said the officer, who wanted to remain anonymous. “We want me to do it and almost. We don’t want to be here. We don’t want to do it, but we stated. We filed complaints. There were lawsuits that failed everything to the state by our Alliance, and the state neglected all this. They neglected our cry for help for the last three years, and now it is that what is ongoing, and that was that you should be in the case.
The former associate said strikers want to stop the abolition, which can only be done through the legislative body. However, Stec said that he and his Republican colleagues believe that Hochul had the power to suspend the law for one year using emergency forces to properly resolve the concern of workers.

A trial agreement was reached last week between New York State Remedial Officers, Union of Remedial Remedial Service Officer, Association of Benevical Police (NYSCOPBA) and State Ministry of Repair and Community Supervision.
Hochul declared the mediated agreement – which included some wages and a temporary emergency suspension to parts of the stop law – as a success, but the “Wildcat” attackers who were not at the negotiating table were generally not approved by the agreement. Thousands continue to strike as a result and hope that the legislative body will convene to suggest changes in the law.
In the letter together with the Agreement, mediator Martin F. Scheinman – who has donated thousands dollars for State Democrats During the last decade, including Hochul – has suggested a binding “consent award” that would formalize the agreements reached in mediation and to be an executive order.
“There are limitations legal to what would be achieved in negotiations, not the maintenance of wisdom/legitimacy of the request,” Scheinman told Fox News Digital. He refused to comment on his history of political donations.

“They violate the law. We have laws in our books that should protect us in these situations. Therefore, they violate the law of the New York state at the moment,” Hochul said on Tuesday morning.
“They have created very insecure circumstances. There are serious consequences. We warned them day by day. Many warnings, that you could lose health care, health care there are no, people will be arrested, you could go to prison. You lost your job, you lost, you lost your revenue, you said Hochul.
Ever since the strike started, the New York Times has reported that seven prisoners have died. In addition, the strike costs the state more than $ 3.5 million a day According to the audit from Hochul’s budget office.
