Press Release: AFSCME Statement on FSU handling of COVID

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 30th, 2020

Frostburg, MD-AFSCME Local 239 is condemning the irresponsibility and malfeasance of the Frostburg State Administration for their failure to protect the health and safety of students, faculty and staff at FSU. Due to FSU’s failure to properly screen, test and monitor campus, a spike in infections has led to an outbreak in the greater Frostburg area resulting in announcement at 7:35pm on October 29th that all classes would switch to online instruction effective 8:00pm on October 29th and classes will remain online until at least November 4th, 2020.

Danielle Dabrowski, President of Local 239 made the following statement, “AFSCME members have worked non-stop since the start of this pandemic to keep the university operational and protect the safety of the community, students and faculty. The University Administration failed to bargain health and safety with AFSCME and failed to notify our membership of any increases in cases and community spread.  The failure to bargain and lack of transparency continues the trend by the Frostburg administration to go it alone, fail to meet their obligations to bargain with AFSCME and hurt the greater Allegany County community”.

According to Governor Hogan’s Communication Director Mike Ricci “While the new cases in Garrett County are generally in the community, most the of new cases in Allegany are link to Frostburg State. We are closely monitoring the situation.” (source Amanda Mangan of the Allegany Radio Corporation)

AFSCME Council 3 President Patrick Moran said, “Frostburg State now has the unfortunate distinction of the only University System of Maryland campus that has had to go online in the middle of the semester and layoff employees during the pandemic.  The administrations inability to treat their hard-working staff right and take proper additional safety precautions is an indication of failed leadership.  AFSCME will continue our fight for our members jobs as well as the health and safety of everyone in Western Maryland with the Nowaczyk Administration.”

Frostburg State has failed to bargain testing, screening and safety protocols with AFSCME unlike their peers in the USM.  They have sent COVID positive students off campus to stay at the nearby Quality Inn. AFSMCE Council 3 and Local 239 raised significant concerns with the university’s reopening plans and their preparedness to address an outbreak on campus.

AFSCME is demanding that Frostburg State rescind layoffs, bargain in good faith with its employees about health and safety to protect campus and greater community immediately. 

AFSCME Maryland represents over 30,000 hardworking and dedicated employees in Maryland State government and in our public higher education institutions.  It is the state’s largest and fastest-growing union for public service employees.  We Make Maryland Happen.
