(Thursday, June 20, 2024) Members and supporters of Oregon Coast United Employees (OCUE), AFT Local 6020 gather at a rally before a board meeting of the Oregon Coast Community College. This is the second consecutive contract negotiation that has ended up in mediation, and members let the board know that they are tired of the endless delays.
(UPDATE: July 3, 2024) After almost 14 hours of mediation, a tentative agreement was reached. The five-year contract includes wage increases of up to 31%, automatic steps, and other significant wins. Congratulations to the bargaining and organizing teams!
