With the exception of the Office Specialist, all of Linn County ITS staff are confidential and non-union. Our 7 staff members all have received security checks and have access to all data stored on ITS servers. The Sheriff's Office and Health operate their own servers.

Are there any organizations (state, county, or city) in the state whose IS employees are considered "confidential" employees for the sake of collective bargaining? I'd be interested in hearing from any of you who have dealt with this issue. Thanks, Murray Paolo Yamhill County
