Linn sheriff union fights to remove sergeants from bargaining unit
Linn County supervisors vote 2 to 1 to ask the PER Board to remove 19 sergeants in the Sheriff's Department from the bargaining unit. Public Employees Local 2003 will contest the petition, and a PER Board hearing will determine if sergeants are supervisors and thus part of management. Blome defends timing and votes on pay, while sergeants say duties fit supervisory roles. Previous requests to remove sergeants were denied by the supervisors.
