New York State Governor Kathy Hochul Responds To Prison Strike
Gov. Kathy Hochul has signed an executive order which will dispatch National Guard members to New York state prisons where corrections officers are holding unauthorized strikes. This executive order will guarantee "public order and protection of public property" at all facilities plus will allow for corrections officers who are showing up to work to receive overtime compensation and direct the state corrections department to bring in an independent mediator to help resolve the strike.
