News and Updates

We did it!

Dear Colleagues,

We're happy to announce that after almost 10 months of difficult negotiations, we have reached an agreement on our first union contract for OHSU house officers!

Bargaining Update 9.25.20

Dear Colleagues,

Last night, after a two week delay that they requested, OHSU delivered a counter-proposal on outstanding items. We had hoped that with the extra time and OHSU's better than expected financials, they would move the process forward in a substantial and meaningful way.

Unfortunately, they did not.

What's Important to You?

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to receive OHSU's response to our economic proposals next Thursday, August 13th. As we continue in this process, we'd like to ensure that our decisions at the bargaining table reflect the priorities of our 900 member-constituents.

Please take this brief summary (https://form.jotform.com/202175065486154) to help us prioritize our remaining proposals for our union contract and as always, let us know if you'd like to attend our next virtual bargaining session!

In Solidarity,

A Budget Is A Moral Document

Colleagues,

We hope you've been able to schedule your fourth week of vacation and that the academic year is off to a great start.

Four Weeks of Vacation!

Congratulations! Your bargaining team is happy to announce our first (tentative until we all vote on the final contract) major contract provisions! We reached agreement today with OHSU on a package proposal that includes the following:

·     4 weeks of vacation for all residents starting in 2020

·     Maintains 3 weeks of Paid Parental Leave

·     Allows a back-dated date of hire for residents in their second year whose preliminary year is not offered at OHSU, so they are not without protected leave for an extra year

Our bargaining team has been hard at work to get all of our major bargaining proposals out on the table so we can begin to really negotiate with management over what will be in our first union contract.
