The union representing Central Oregon Community College’s classified workers says it reached a tentative agreement, likely averting a strike that was set to begin tomorrow Thursday.
The union said the agreement includes up to a 25% raise for its lowest-paid members. Union leaders previously said a significant share of workers were food and housing insecure.
Union leaders said they would share the full details of the agreement with the public once its members have a chance to ratify it Wednesday night. Union leaders said they anticipated their members would ratify the deal.
Classified workers include custodians, IT and financial aid and enrollment specialists.
