PEF Health and Safety staff, regional staff, members, and the newly elected OCFS Statewide Health &amp; Safety Committee chair met to discuss the events and plan the union\u2019s response.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the course of several Zoom meetings, the group spoke with Industry staff members to piece together what happened, provide immediate support, and ask for what solutions they saw as necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cPEF is currently investigating at least two events where members were seriously hurt,\u201d said Leisa Abraham, PEF\u2019s Region 3 coordinator and co-chair of the Statewide Article 18 Health &amp; Safety Committee. \u201cWe are working to do everything we can to minimize the harm that can be done to our members.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Joseph Robinson, an Education Director at Industry, was one of the assaulted members. The attack broke his orbital bone and resulted in several lost days of work. He said he was just doing what he thought he should do when he was attacked. \u201cWhen it was time to lock-in, one of the youths refused and resisted,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cI used the proper restraints OCFS trained me on, but he did end up hitting me in response.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Robinson also said he believes that the youth who assaulted him knew that there were not enough staff working that day and there would be no rapid response. Still, Robinson said, he \u201cwas trying to be of use\u201d to his fellow employees.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">PEF\u2019s fact-finding mission following the incident revealed that there are several areas in the facility that frequently have incidents, and that more data is needed about the impact they are having on the youth held at facilities like Industry. Robinson\u2019s assailant is over 18, but there is concern that legal adults \u2014 up to the age of 20 \u2014 are being housed in the same facilities, some awaiting transfer to the Department of Corrections when they turn 21.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe Raise the Age legislation has not been implemented in a manner that makes sense. Twenty-year-olds don\u2019t belong in the same treatment units with much younger peers,\u201d said PEF Vice President Randi DiAntonio during the November Zoom call. \u201cWe need to examine these admission decisions and ask legislators and OCFS how they will keep staff and the kids at these facilities safe.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Raise the Age was signed into law by New York in 2018 despite PEF\u2019s objection. It changes the age at which youthful offenders can be held at OCFS facilities.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWhile well intentioned, Raise the Age has led to serious unintended consequences,\u201d said DiAntonio, who chairs PEF\u2019s Statewide Political Action Committee. \u201cPEF<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> objected to the law\u2019s requirement to comingle young adults, ages 18-20, with younger adolescent residents, ages 10-17, due to the dramatic differences in physical, psychological and social development between them. Those differences create an environment ripe for bullying and abuse.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One thing was made clear in all the incidents: understaffing is a significant contributing factor that results in more assaults on staff as well as other youth in the facility. With no one to respond quickly to help Robinson or other staff when they need it, they are always at greater risk for more harm.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe need to know what the agency or the facility management has done since the incident,\u201d VP DiAntonio said. \u201cStaffing is a critical component to making the workplace safer but that will take time. In the immediate timeframe, the State needs to take actions that show they care. We will never solve the staffing crisis if employees, new or seasoned, are afraid they\u2019re going to get seriously assaulted when they come to work.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since the incidents, a PEF team conducted a walkthrough of the facility and met with local and agency management representatives to help develop a plan of action for long- and short-term solutions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe agency and facility need to focus on proactive preventive actions,\u201d said PEF Field Representative Colin Phillips. \u201cWe especially need the facility to create an emergency response team and a new response protocol. The current model was not designed to provide care for residents over the age of 18.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">PEF is currently in talks with management to discuss changes to procedures and provide more clarity on the day-to-day impact on laws like Raise the Age. There are other short-term proposals including providing Personal Protective Equipment and better emergency communication equipment for use during dangerous and aggressive situations.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe walkthrough was just the beginning of really good dialogue,\u201d Region 3 Coordinator Abraham said. \u201cI am confident that there will be strong long-term solutions the more we work with management and start statewide talks.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Additionally, PEF is working with CSEA, since workplace violence potentially impacts everyone at a facility.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe have serious concerns with the inadequate compliance with the Workplace Violence Prevention Standard at Industry,\u201d said PEF Health and Safety Director Geraldine Stella. \u201cUnion and management representatives need to do a workplace violence post incident review after serious incidents such as these in order to determine what needs to be in place to prevent or mitigate future incidents. PEF was not included in that review and that needs to change.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cOne of the main stumbling blocks is that a number of titles that need to be staffed are not just PEF titles,\u201d said Phillips. \u201cYouth Support Specialists are CSEA titles. PEF members are doing out-of-title work to cover short staffing in another bargaining unit. PEF members who work as teachers or therapists do not spend as much time in direct contact with residents and may not always be aware of subtle conflicts or other factors between youths that can put both staff and residents at risk.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Robinson appreciates PEF\u2019s response so far but recognizes that there is still more work to be done.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI think everyone is doing the best they can here at Industry,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cMany of our more experienced veterans have retired or left the job, and that leaves more inexperienced staff to deal with an even more challenging clientele.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While PEF, CSEA, and management work on solutions to ensure better workplace safety, Robinson and other members say they will continue to work together and do their best to take care of the youth in their care and stay safe while doing it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Any member interested in getting involved with workplace violence prevention at their agency or facility should contact PEF Health &amp;
