Tentative Agreement Vote Passed! ✅
Thank you to everyone who voted on our Tentative Agreement (TA) for our 2026-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the City of Portland.
Our union contract TA passed — we have a ratified agreement!
Congratulations! We have reached the next milestone in our pathway to a contract. Credit is due to the dedication of the Bargaining Team, Contract Action Team (CAT), Stewards, and Portland Chapter members for actively engaging over the last 18 months. This has been a long and arduous journey, but it’s not over yet. Please read on for important dates in the ratification process and actions to support our labor siblings in the City of Portland Professional Workers (CPPW) Union and LiUNA/Laborers’ Local 483. Our work is not complete until we all get across the finish line.
Our next milestone to a fully implemented Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is getting our contract officially adopted by City Council. Our agreement is currently scheduled to go before Council on Nov. 18, which is an evening session. Human Resources (HR) Operations and the Enterprise Business Solutions (EBS) teams are actively working on all items that we have Tentative Agreements (TAs) on, in order to expedite implementation following City Council’s adoption.
