AFSCME Local President Buck VanDyke speaks in front of the crowd of AFSCME Local 3088 members and supporters
AFSCME Local 3088 members continue to advocate for respect and fair treatment as they negotiate their union contract with the City of Mansfield, Mayor Jodie Perry, and her administration. On February 11 and 13, union members held informational pickets to raise awareness among city officials and residents.
In frigid temperatures, union members were joined by Mansfield residents, community supporters, and other labor partners, demonstrating solidarity and a commitment to fair bargaining. Both days saw 60 to 70 supporters lining Main Street in support of AFSCME Local 3088 members.
Despite bargaining in good faith, the union has been without a contract for the past nine months. Though the local has 100 percent union membership representing employees for the city in nearly every department including public works, streets, sewer, water, administration, permits, parks, police and fire departments, Perry's administration has yet to properly review AFSCME’s fair and sustainable proposals. The Local has entered fact-finding, where a neutral party reviews the facts AFSCME Local 3088 and the administration present. The Fact Finder will review the facts and provide non-binding recommendations.
AFSCME Ohio Council 8 Staff Representative Joe Daniels gives updates to the crowd on the 3088 contract negotiations
The negotiation process has been long, but members remain committed in their pursuit of a contract that is equitable for both employees and the city.
