Union threatens unfair labor charge over county offices
Construction and General Laborers Local 964 warns of an unfair labor practice filing against county commissioners over AFSCME members working in district justices offices. Local 964 members had resigned claiming insufficient wages and heavy workloads, while commissioners deny secretarial work by AFSCME staff. Unemployment appeals by two former secretaries, Norma Hammers and Kathryn Sturdevent, were denied as voluntary resignations.

Emergency plans seen as local responsibility
Commissioner Frank A. Vitril and county officials say disaster planning is a municipal duty under state law. A county plan would be useless as disasters are localized and local police fire and state police lead responses. The meeting also covered remodeling plans for the old county courthouse with projected costs and approvals from Labor and Industry and the fire marshal.
