Baltimore --- The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Maryland Council 3 announced
today an agreement with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS) regarding the department’s
restructuring of the Human Resources Division. The new plan no longer involves any job losses. Instead, employees who may have
been separated will now be relocated to vacant positions within DPSCS.
“AFSCME members are pleased to reach a mutual understanding with Secretary Stephen T. Moyer which respects
the service of and protects the jobs of these hard-working employees, while still allowing the department to
reorganize human resources functions,” said AFSCME Maryland Council 3, President Patrick Moran.
The original plan would have abolished 63 positions and would have resulted in layoffs. The department will establish human
resources “hubs” in Baltimore, Cumberland, Hagerstown, Jessup and Westover. The new plan allows workers to remain
in state service within the DPSCS.

So they are moving people from high paying jobs where they weren't doing anything productive to another non productive but lower paying job. Well it is a start to saving tax dollars.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that nobody in a government job needed to be down sized, was incompetent or simply did not do their job.
ReplyDelete8:28. In the state of Maryland when a person is 'demoted' they nearly always keep their original higher pay. True.
