Both teams have passed everything that was in their court today.

We wanted to share OHSU’s major economic supposal as soon as we feasibly could. This was a “supposal,” so they’re able to move things back or around if they want to but it was not confidential so we’re able to share it with our membership.

• Year 1: Greater of 4% or $1.25 with a new minimum wage of $22 an hour.

• Year 2: 3.25% with the minimum wage increasing by the ATB amount to $22.72

• Year 3: 3% with the minimum wage increasing by the ATB amount to $23.40

• $1500 ratification bonus for full-time employees and $750 for part-time if we do not declare a strike.

• No additional vacation.

• No additional sick time.

• No additional holidays.

We will have more details later, but we’re still negotiating with OHSU and have a lot of administrative work to do once we’re done to show you what was passed today.

We will be having our 5 PM mini-town hall today. Details are in the calendar on our website.

5 PM UPDATE: For the first time since these Tuesday update meetings began we hit capacity at noon today. We updated the link and this should address the issue. Please see the updated link on our website’s calendar.

Evening Update: Our team wrapped up around 9:30 PM tonight without coming to an agreement. More details will be shared tomorrow as soon as a proper summarization can be put together.
