Over 20% of the workers at DCF's Solnit South facility have been INJURED ON THE JOB and are not currently able to work!

These injuries are directly related to chronic understaffing and a lack of investment in a facility that takes care of kids with some of the most severe mental health and behavioral needs.

Union leadership said 66 of the roughly 300 workers at the Solnit South facility are now recovering from injuries.
