Collective representation
Collective representation
We continue to make progress communicating your concerns with H/R and the City Manager. Our goal is to encourage H/R and the City Manager to utilize ACME as a collective voice through which non-union staff can engage in reviewing and commenting upon proposed workplace initiatives prior to deployment. We believe this will further our goal of improving communications within the Corporation and the fostering of a positive work environment.
