County Commission Hears Public Comments on DA’s Office Union Proposal

What do you think about a proposed contract with the Deschutes County District Attorney? Deputies say their main reason for wanting a contract is to ensure they are only terminated for "just cause". County Commissioners want to know what you think?   A few people showed up today at the County Commissioners morning meeting to discuss this contract. “Two people testified and we tried to answer their questions. The contract is on line. We will take comments up through next Wednesday when we are scheduled to vote. People have the opportunity to go on line, look at and e-mail any questions or comments and we will do our best to answer them.” Commissioner Dennis Luke says he supports the contract. Commissioner Alan Unger says he also favors the rights of employees to have a grievance procedure, but he wants to hear from incoming District Attorney Patrick Flaherty before he decides how to vote. If Commissioners reject the contract, it will have to go be re-negotiated and if that fails, it would be sent to binding arbitration.
