Prince George’s County Government is committed to a positive, supportive, and empowering experience for all County employees.
Unions
Employees, with certain exceptions, have the right to organize and bargain collectively as a union. Unions negotiate specific terms and conditions of employment (examples: pay rates, work hours) with County Government through Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs). You may be covered by a CBA – check your Offer Letter or ask your Agency HRL. You can review your CBA on the OHRM website.
