Hello PROTEC17 Portland Members,
We are at a critical crossroads with our union contract negotiations. The City has finally provided a financial proposal, but it’s too little too late!
- They have budgeted NO money for our long overdue class/compensation study;
- They want to do away with our decades-long established Cost-of-Living-Adjustment (COLA) policy that is tied to inflation; and
- There is no movement on improving flexibility for workers that actually saves the City money.
It’s time for Mayor Wilson and City Administrator Lee to sharpen their pencils and roll up their sleeves — they will not bully us into accepting less than fair!
