Climate Survey for Multnomah County On-call and Temporary Employees

About this survey:

Many months ago, on-call and temporary workers with Multnomah County filed for union representation, joining AFSCME Local 88, the union that represents most other County workers. As we prepare to bargain with the county, it is vital that the union hears what is important to you.

If you are currently working as a temporary or on-call employee, please complete this short survey. It will help set the priorities for what we demand from the County.

Your participation is confidential. However, we would like contact information so that we can reach you with updates as the campaign progresses.
