The union representing employees who were laid off when former Luzerne County president Judge Michael Conahan closed the county-owned juvenile detention center in 2002 have sent a letter to county officials demanding to be "made whole."
The letter to county commissioners and new President Judge Chester Muroski was written by David Antle, district director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which represented the 16 full-time child care workers who lost their jobs.
...... Antle said the "privatization" of detention has cost county residents millions of dollars and "resulted in unimaginable harm."
