Employee Relations
We promote a high-quality work force and collaborative relationships between management and employee organizations by providing training and guidance on managing performance, contract interpretation, resolving complaints at the lowest level and by negotiating timely and fiscally responsible agreements. We value prompt and courteous customer service and teamwork.
Labor Management Partnership
Zone 7 Water Agency has worked towards creating constructive Labor Management Partnerships with the labor organizations that represent our workforce. Zone 7 employees work in professional, scientific and highly technical professions. These employees want to participate in decisions that affect their work and form partnerships to help identify problems and to help craft solutions. This being the case, the Agency has joined forces with the labor unions to form Labor Management Teams, which meet periodically to address concerns and work toward meeting common goals.
