About this listen

On The Rick Smith Show, Rick is joined by Dave Demas, President of AFGE Local 3003, who details the immense strain placed on federal correction officers during the government shutdown. Officers are forced to work without pay, worsening understaffing, financial pressures, and dangerous working conditions in prisons, all while union contract protections have been stripped away, a blow to safety and morale. Mark Cochran, President of AFGE Local 3145 and Council 270, shares how the shutdown is devastating the National Parks Service as staff face unpaid work or furloughs, maintenance and services grind to a halt, and public access suffers, threatening both worker security and treasured public spaces.
