Thousands of corrections officers at dozens of prisons have been protesting working conditions in wildcat strikes across the state.

More than 2,000 New York prison guards who were fired for participating in an illegal wildcat strike won't be able to get another job with the state, Gov. Kathy Hochul said.

New York says its prison guard strike is over, though that meant firing thousands of workers who refused to cross the picket line after three weeks. More than 2,000 state prison officers who failed to return to work by a Monday deadline were fired and will be barred from future civil service jobs in the state,
