After 16 months of negotiating, employees of the Mid-Columbia Center for Living will see pay increases totaling 13% over the next three years.

The Longview newsroom joined the NewsGuild last May. But bargaining with Lee Enterprises—which owns 77 newspapers—isn’t going well.

Collective Bargaining

The union and City have been negotiating the contract since early 2020, and have been in mediation since mid-2021.

NWSL players won a 60% raise in minimum salary in their first-ever union contract—five years after unionizing.

After the City of Portland improved its offer, workers voted to approve a new contract and call off the strike that was set to start Feb. 10.

Unless an agreement is reached before then, roughly 1,200 city workers represented by the District Council of Trade Unions will go on strike.

The deal means over 22% raises over three years on average for roughly 300 support workers at one of only two for-profit hospitals in Oregon.

The union has been in contract negotiations with Albertsons and Safeway management since July 2021.

Following drawn out and contentious union negotiations, City of Portland managers are now accused of interfering in strike votes.
