PUBLIC COMMENTS
Dino Bruno, representative of SEIU Local 585, stated that he hopes the Commissioners will closely evaluate
the Pennsylvania Economy League's recommendation to privatize county services (i.e. housekeeping, building
security and jail food service operations) and that the Commissioners will keep the communications open with the
union concerning this issue. He stated that he feels that Allegheny County moved too quickly on privatization
issues and there was no open communication and it caused a lot of problems and chaos. He stated that
privatization is not always the answer and he questioned the hidden costs. He stated that he feels the public and
taxpayers need to know that there going to be costs later on down the line and he hopes that there will be open
forums for public input and feedback.
Commissioner Irey responded to Mr. Bruno's comments and stated that she is willing to listen to the
concerns of the employees and if there is a move for privatization of any part of this government, she will afford
them the opportunity to come in and bid on the work.
Becky Bailey, representative of SEIU Local 585, stated that although she has concerns with the
recommendations of the Pennsylvania Economy League, she feels that some of the recommendations such as staff
training will help employees to increase and improve services. She stated that, however, the union wants to try to
prevent layoffs from happening and that the union hopes that issues can be worked out because it realizes that
these issues are important and that the County has to move so that it doesn't become stagnant. She stated that
the union will continue to cooperate in whatever needs to be done in order to make sure its members' jobs are
secure and that the standard of services that they provide do not diminish. She stated that the union would
appreciate the Commissioners keeping the lines of communication open.
