County actively preparing for potential employee strike
On Oct. 2, Lane County
received notice that approxi-
mately 650 employees repre-
sented by the American
Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME) may strike begin-
ning today, Oct. 18, unless a
labor contract agreement is
reached.
“Lane County remains
committed to maintaining the
highest level of service deliv-
ery possible for our communi-
ty during a strike,” said Devon
Ashbridge, public information
officer. “There are some serv-
ices that will need to be
adjusted if a strike occurs. We
L OOKING
FOR
want our community to know
that we are planning carefully
in order to minimize the
impact to the many people
who rely on our services.”
Visit www.lanecounty.org
for a detailed list of service
changes that would be imple-
mented if AFSCME employ-
ees strike.
In the Florence and
Mapleton areas, the most
direct impact will be in a
reduction of hours at Lane
County Waste Management,
which would be closed
Sunday through Tuesday, and
open only to commercial
dumping Wednesday through
Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Public dumping would only
be open on Saturday, from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m.
Information will be updated
as needed.
Community members with
questions about affected serv-
ices are encouraged to call the
hotline at 541-682-3977.
The hotline is open between
9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday, until resolu-
tion is reached or until the
strike ends.
Lane County has been
working with AFSCME lead-
ers since March 1 to come to
an agreement on updated
terms for a three-year contract
(2017-20).
The county has made a pro-
posal that is similar to con-
tracts already accepted by five
other employee labor organi-
zations at Lane County.
While Lane County is com-
mitted to reaching an agree-
ment that balances providing
competitive wages and bene-
fits with being responsible
stewards of taxpayer
resources, it is also actively
preparing for a strike.
Information about the labor
negotiations process itself is
available at www.lanecounty.
org/contractupdates.
