Sisters and Brothers,
We know how difficult things have been.
Many of you are working extended hours, getting held over, and coming right back with little time to recover. Others are being asked to take on assignments that place real strain on you and your families. Across the board, the staffing crisis is being felt every day – in your schedules, your safety, and your ability to do the job the right way.
We hear you. And we have your backs.
We will begin bargaining with the County on a new collective bargaining agreement next week, and we are focused on fighting for real solutions, including staffing, working conditions, safety, and long-term sustainability in this profession. But to do that effectively, we need to bring your voice directly to the table.
Please take a few minutes to complete this important survey:
This survey is about more than data. It’s about documenting what you are dealing with and making sure decision-makers cannot ignore it. Your responses will directly shape our proposals and strengthen our position as we advocate for meaningful change.
We know people are tired. We know morale has taken a hit. But this is exactly the moment where your input matters most. WE NEED EVERY SINGLE MEMBER TO TAKE THIS SURVEY!
Stay strong. We are fighting for you – your safety, your well-being, and your future in this profession.
In solidarity,
AFSCME Local 685 Executive Board
