Check out the new AFSCME Council 4 Unplugged podcast, which takes on the topical issue of sexual harassment.

Our guests are Tanjorie Godwin (AFSCME Local 1565) and Cathy Osten (CSEA-SEIU), who were among the union members who fought back against the culture of sexual harassment cultivated by Department of Correction management more than 12 years ago.

Godwin, who retired from DOC in 2015, and Osten, a three-term State Senator, say their unions made a big difference in advancing their fight for justice.

Click play on the podcast below to listen and learn how union representation is one of the best defenses against harassment and discrimination in all its forms.
