AFSCME Local 328

Just weeks after AFSCME Local 328 ratified a contract with Oregon Health & Science University, management is violating the terms of the deal.

AFSCME Local 328’s new agreement guarantees across-the-board raises of 7% in year one and 5% in years two and three.

If ratified by members, it would include across-the-board raises of 7%, 5%, and 5% over three years, and ratification bonuses.

More than 7,000 AFSCME-represented workers at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) could strike as soon as Oct. 7.

AFSCME and Oregon Health and Science University management have reached several tentative agreements, but have not settled on wage increases.

After 17 weeks of bargaining and some tentative agreements, economics are a key sticking point between OHSU and AFSCME.

Over 6,000 workers will get $1,000 bonuses and raises totaling 9.5% in new three-year deal.

At OHSU, a union volunteer uncovered management bargaining team members engaging in obscene social media trolling, leading to the resignation of OHSU’s director of human resources.
