County Negotiations—Building on our Strength for 2026!
NEGOTIATIONS ARE ON THE HORIZON—2026 IS A COUNTY NEGOTIATIONS YEAR. Our union will soon be in negotiations for successor agreements to our current Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs).
The political landscape may be uncertain, but we are confident in our resolve. By strengthening our workplace relationships and expanding our active membership, we will create a powerful voice that can’t be ignored at the negotiations table.
