We encourage the union to express their concerns at monthly labor-management meetings. They can always go the warden on a daily basis.

We haven't seen any red flags to indicate an increase in incidents of inmate-on-inmate or inmate-on-staff violence.

We have to work within a budget. We feel we are doing that safely and securely and we evaluate this process at our facilities every day. We are but one agency in the state that must compete for budget resources.

Hastings itself actually provides a lot more jobs than what our labor force shows.

The union leaders have thumbed their noses at management and the public. The airline has suffered enough, and it is time that the pilots suffer along with us.

Don't interpret anything too much. This is time waster number 1.
