Amador County – The Amador County Board of Supervisors announced Tuesday that they have entered into a contract with the Industrial Employers and Distributors Association (IEDA) to provide representation in upcoming labor negotiations. County Administrative Officer Terri Daly said the non-profit will assist the county in “several important situations,” including new contracts and consideration of extending the 36-hour work week. Currently, the County’s Human Resources Department is operating at about half the staff it did two years before. “We simply don’t have the internal resources to dedicate staff to negotiations; we evaluated the most cost-effective alternative to providing sufficient staffing to negotiations and determined that hiring IEDA as the County’s representative in the coming negotiations would be the most effective solution,” said Daly. She said the County will save about half of what it would have spent in hiring the staff full time. Daly noted that “the County has maintained positive relationships with the employee unions over the years and wants to keep the best interests of the employees in mind when entering negotiations and feels having a qualified negotiator with the time to the effort will be beneficial.” A TSPN TV Report This email address is being protected from spambots.
