The National Correctional Employees Union filed a complaint against Knox County. The union alleges the county failed to negotiate over jail layoffs. The county reduced the jail workforce from 22 to eight full-time workers. It also outsourced inmate housing and replaced kitchen staff with a private company. The union seeks an order for the county to bargain in good faith and stop anti-union acts.
