Doyle An arbitrator for the state of Wisconsin has ruled that the state Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare (BMCW) must continue the caseworker retention efforts it initiated in 2005 in to correct an annual 50% turnover rate. In 2004, the BMCW lost 129 of 233 workers (55%). In 2005, it lost 113 of 210 caseworkers (54%). Since the retention initiatives were established late 2005, turnover rates have been cut in half. The arbitrators binding ruling is in response to a 2002 settlement agreement in the Jeanine B. v. Doyle federal class . . .
