Members of Westmoreland County’s largest labor union on Thursday continued to pressure county commissioners to return to the bargaining table.
Members of the Service Employees International Union and HealthCare Pennsylvania conducted informational picketing in front of the Westmoreland County Courthouse as well as other county facilities including Area Agency on Aging offices in downtown Greensburg.
The SEIU conducted similar picketing last week at the courthouse.
Union negotiators said they walked away from the bargaining table Oct. 24 amid accusations that county commissioners have yet to make a clear proposal for a new contract.
The union represents more than 500 county workers including 911 dispatchers, nurses and staff at Westmoreland Manor, courthouse office staff and area agency on aging employees. The SEIU’s four-year contract expires at the end of December.
