Anonymous said...: I used to donate to the Red Cross thinking they were a deserving organization. Then I learned they are a bunch of unionized people and constantly demanding more money and better benefits. Now I make my contributions elsewhere where unions aren't destroying everything.

The Red Cross made the changes after AFSCME 3145 contacted the state Department of Public Health and expressed concern about non-licensed staff members working at collection sites, Morrissey said. The Red Cross is seeking an exception to the relevant state law, she said, which it says is "outdated."

The union also has discouraged people from donating blood, Morrissey said.

Larry Dorman, an AFSCME spokesman, said the union — which is in contract talks with the Red Cross — did not discourage blood donations. Nineteen union members were among the people laid off, he said.

"They're punishing our workers for having done the right thing" by pointing out safety violations in the Double Red Cell Program, he said.

To make up for the shortfall, the Red Cross will rely on blood brought in from other states, Morrissey said.; November 8, 2009 at 2:25 AM
