Labor-Management Committees:

Labor-Management work groups are tools to help improve the workplace. Labor and management work together to resolve problems and/or develop innovative strategies to produce work more efficiently, save the County money, or improve services. 

Agency Shop Requirements/Union Membership:

Riverside County, like many other California public employers, has negotiated a modified agency shop provision with several of our employee unions. Section 3502.5 of the California Government Code provides that employees who are hired into a job classification that is represented by a union who has negotiated an “agency shop provision” must, generally as a condition of employment, either join that union or pay a service fee to the union which includes an initiation fee, periodic dues, and general assessments as determined by the union. Failure to join the appropriate union, or pay the applicable service fee, within 30 days from your date of hire may result in your termination for failure to meet the requirements of your position. For more information, or if you have not already received a membership and dues deduction card, please contact your departmental payroll clerk or the appropriate union for your classification.
