City Manager’s Response to AFSCME / May Member Meeting Cancelled

Brothers and Sister of AFSCME Local 2432,

In response to AFSCME Local 2432’s letter of March 31, 2020 voicing members’ concerns regarding protections from exposure to COVID at the workplace, the City provided its response, which you will find below.

Please know that we had multiple discussions with the City to address the allegations that implied employee theft of safety supplies. It appears that those statements were simply a result of a misunderstanding and a series of miscommunications. Rather than dwell on that unfortunate comment, we will chalk that up to the chaos and confusion that everyone finds themselves in these days, and move forward together with the City.

Local 2432 would like to take this moment to commend all of its hard-working members for continuing to provide essential services to the public during these uncertain times, thereby keeping the City of Hollywood functioning for our first responders and for the community as a whole.

As your AFSCME Executive Board, we urge each and every one of you to diligently adhere to the City-mandated protective measures in order to protect yourselves and others, using all available protective equipment, and continuing to follow all safety guidelines. If you have not already been provided protective equipment, please report this to your managers and directors. If it is not promptly addressed and resolved, then contact HR and Local 2432. We want you to know that the City is considering the implementation of alternating shifts, as an additional safety precaution for our membership, and to ensure the ongoing provision of our essential services.

Please know that your Union will continue to cooperate with the City to safeguard and protect our membership throughout the duration of our response to this Coronavirus pandemic. We trust that the City truly appreciates your dedication to the residents of Hollywood during this difficult time and will continue to work cooperatively with Local 2432 to keep you safe during these times. We will keep you posted

Please note that the May 19th Member Meeting has been cancelled.
