Oregon AFSCME says getting management to schedule a bargaining session has been a serious challenge — they’ve met three times since unionizing in September.
The unanimously ratified contract includes an immediate $80-a-month increase, three annual raises of 3%, dependent health coverage, and caps hours of work.
Two more union election wins add 200 to the existing group of 270 mental health and addiction treatment workers who are bargaining a first union contract.
