Why we checked itHochul claims the wildcat strike was timed to coincide with pending murder indictments against some of the striking guards — a specific, verifiable assertion about a criminal justice action that, if inaccurate, would materially mischaracterize the strike's motivation.
What we foundThe claim is accurate: indictments of multiple corrections officers for the murder of incarcerated Robert Brooks were issued the very week (and specifically on February 20, 2025, three days after) the corrections officers' wildcat strike began on February 17, 2025.
