Update from the President
Frankie Cocanour
Bargaining Update:
On Tuesday we went over Article 16. Article 16 which deals with pay policies. The college would like us to turn over more of our articles that deal with compensation. We have been holding off, waiting until we know exactly what the budget is and how much the college will receive from the state.
Paid Leave Oregon:
Paid Leave Oregon Equivalent Guide Book
Here are two links that will help you with navigating the new Paid Leave Oregon benefits. It would be handy for all of us to save them, so that we have them at hand when and if we need to use this benefit.
