Local 88 urges Multnomah County to honor bargaining obligations as shared services move forward
Summary
Local 88 warned the county that centralization raises mandatory bargaining subjects including workload, reassignments, SOPs and SLAs; the union asked for classification and workload data and demanded the county follow contract procedures before imposing new rules.
A Local 88 representative told commissioners the shared‑services plan triggers several collective‑bargaining protections and asked the county to provide concrete data on which bargaining‑unit employees will lose or gain duties, how workloads will change and which classifications will perform work after centralization.
The union representative said management has rights to reorganize, but not to bypass the CBA’s requirements for discussing changes to workloads, assignments and rules. The union asked the county to produce affected‑classification lists, workload analyses, proposed SOPs/SLAs and to engage in bargaining where the changes touch mandatory subjects.
