County Manager Julie Morgas Baca seeks common ground and common sense as BernCo opens negotiations with three employee unions as the county enters a new era of greater efficiency. The county formally opened contract negotiations with the three unions recently, as the contracts between the county and the unions are coming to an end. The unions represent correctional officers at the Metropolitan Detention Center, clerical and technical employees, and court security specialists. There are a total of seven unions that represent employees at Bernalillo County and the county expects to negotiate with the remaining four unions over time.
