AFSCME files intent to strike; Champaign Co. employees, admin fail to reach middle ground
URBANA. (WCIA) — Some Champaign County employees could be striking as soon as Tuesday after contract negotiations with the administration failed to reach a middle ground. AFSCME filed an intent to strike as more than 90% were in favor of the motion on June 30th, which means a potential strike could happen as soon as Tuesday. READ MORE: AFSCME protests at Champaign Co. Courthouse, warns of possible strike if new contract isn't complete soon The union' president said they decided to go through with the filing because they feel like administration is taking them as a joke. In the beginning of May, employees first addressed the issue with a rally in front of the courthouse. The workers are asking for fair wages and affordable health care. The union president said since May, they've had more negotiating meetings, but the problem is that workers and administration still can't find a middle a ground. 'We really don't want to have to do this,' AFSCME Local 900 President Cecelia Phillips said. 'It is in management's court to not make a strike happen. But we will stand firm and we will stand strong and we will stand united for affordable health care, livable wages.' Phillips said if they do go on strike, they aren't sure how long it'll last. The next negotiation meeting is Monday. 'We reached out to Champaign County Executive Steve Summers who said: 'County administration and AFSCME have been meeting with a mediator and additional sessions are scheduled for next week,' Summer said. 'We continue to see productive movement on both sides and are committed to continuing negotiations until we reach a fair and equitable agreement.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
