Westmoreland County Workers Fight to Protect Services Amid Furloughs
October 15, 2025
In early October, Westmoreland County announced that 125 county employees, including SEIU Local 668 members, would be furloughed starting October 13 unless state reimbursements resumed. The decision followed months of budget gridlock in Harrisburg that left counties without vital funding. County officials said interest costs had already reached about $600,000 due to delayed payments.
