July 29 Vaccine Bargaining Update

Local 328 member leaders and staff met with representatives of OHSU’s management on Thursday, July 29th to bargain the impact of OHSU Covid-19 vaccination policy. The issue is complicated because Oregon has a unique law that bars healthcare organizations from mandating vaccines as a condition of employment. While we absolutely want all our members who are medically eligible to get the vaccine, we also must protect the rights of our members and not allow OHSU to go beyond their authority. Oregon’s law must be dealt with by a legislative body, not employers.

Local 328’s First Annual Report

Our union is stronger when members understand how their leadership is structured and what the executive board does. It makes members feel more confident voting in elections and it helps provide transparency. The executive board is not a mysterious organization—it’s a group of your coworkers, elected to serve.
