Moussaoui and Martha: Union's Lockdown Lowdown
You've got to hand it to the folks at the American Federation of Government Employees. They pass up no opportunity to capitalize on high-profile criminal cases to highlight their position on Bureau of Prisons staffing issues. In 2004, AFGE said Martha Stewart might be at risk during her stay at the federal minimum security prison in Alderson, W. Va., because of understaffing. Now, with Zacarias Moussaoui on his way to serve six life terms at the "supermax" federal facility in Florence, Colo., AFGE contends that the prison has seen "significant decreases" in staffing of "mission-critical posts" since last September.
