Onondaga County Unit’s 2008 contract negotiations

Onondaga County Unit “Contract Blast”: Tentative agreement reached in mediation (9/4/2008)

In early 2007, CSEA's Negotiating Team began the process of negotiating our next contract, working with our union staff professionals to ensure that we were prepared for the work ahead. Our goals were clear:

  • Increase communications with and involvement from our members
  • Make the process as open and transparent as possible
  • Work hard to gain the best contract we could for all our members throughout the County.

We began actual negotiations in July 2007, but partially due to a turnover in County leadership, our negotiations process has been delayed by the County's continued foot-dragging.

Our union continues to forge ahead to negotiate a fair and more timely contract. What remains constant is our promise to keep you informed throughout, to work on building our unity, and to fight to gain the best contract we can.

We will use this area of the Local website to post "blast" updates and to ask for your involvement. Please check back often to see what's going on and how you can participate!
