Curry County to give staff the day after Thanksgiving after union agreement
Summary
Commissioners announced both unions agreed to allow staff to have the day after Thanksgiving off; county labor attorney Steve Schubach coordinated the change and confirmed it does not violate collective bargaining agreements.
County officials announced at the end of a special meeting that both unions agreed to allow county staff to have the day after Thanksgiving off this year, so staff will have Thursday and Friday around the holiday.
Unidentified Speaker 1 said the agreement was secured "as of this morning" and that staff will be able to have the additional day. Unidentified Speaker 4 credited the county labor attorney: "Our labor attorney, Steve Schubach, took the lead on coordinating that and said that we weren't violating the collective bargaining agreements." Unidentified Speaker 2 interjected a light-hearted caveat: "But only if they bring us their leftovers on Monday." Speakers noted the change added a new day to the calendar rather than shifting another holiday.
The announcement followed the board's formal business on a separate agenda item and was presented as a personnel/administrative update rather than a formal motion recorded as a separate action.
