Dear AFSCME members,
We are writing to inform you Lane County has
notified AFSCME Local 2831, it's intent to
move forward with the administration of
Lane County's Drug and Alcohol Policy to
ensure compliance with Federal Grant Funding
requirements.
AFSCME has responded by notifying Lane
County of our demand to bargain the
implementation, impacts and all aspects of
the draft policy.
Please review the attachment to this
message. It is the existing language in the
APM which Lane County would like to
implement.
