Two WFSE Members Murdered in Past Month - Take Action Now to Stop Domestic Violence
A Letter from WFSE President Mike Yestramski
Dear union siblings,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to tell you that one of our union siblings at Eastern State Hospital was murdered this weekend in an apparent act of intimate partner violence. This is the second WFSE member who’s been murdered by an intimate partner in less than a month, following the death of a member at the University of Washington a few weeks back.
