Bargaining Update

Greetings,

We have entered the negotiating part of bargaining where we strategize packages of proposals back and forth with the State. We have tentatively agreed to 16 proposals, with more still to go. AEE is waiting on several key proposals back from the State, including the economics proposal. Many other decisions on how we make our proposals are dependent on the economics package. We continue to fight for all our members rights.

There are two more scheduled bargaining sessions in June – on the 4th and 18th. How bargaining proceeds depends on proposals we receive from the State on the 4th.

SEIU will be holding a rally June 5th, noon – 2pm at the State Capitol. They have invited us to join them. The theme of the rally is “to fight for a state budget that reflects Oregon’s values, protects essential services and invests in Oregon workers.”

In Unity,

AEE Bargaining Team
