Under separate jurisdiction, AFSCME has also been trying to represent state workers [Obs., Apr. 25] and employees of Travis County. It was in this context that a number of Austin city government department heads quietly met in early June to try to figure out ways to stop the momentum of AFSCME, at least on municipal terrain. During the meeting, apparently without the involvement or prior knowledge of any council members, a five-page memo was distributed advising the supervisors 10 JUNE 20, 1980
