Coalition Bargaining Begins

What Do We All Need?

Our coalition bargaining team will meet for the first time on Saturday, October 11, in Salem.

The team, with some excellent help from staff, will read all of the surveys that our members completed, and begin working on proposal language to meet your needs. If you submitted an idea for changing any particular part of our contract, expect a phone call from a bargaining team member sometime in the next few months to discuss it.

Know Your Bargaining Team

The Human Services Coalition consists of the Department of Employment and the Department of Human Services. Members from both departments share many common issues, so we work together to support each other in negotiating our contract language. These people are the bargaining team elected by our members to speak to our management counterparts across the table during the coming months. As bargaining progresses, the team will ask for advice and support from all of you - the workers in the field who chose them as delegates.

Members of the Human Services Coalition Bargaining Team are listed below, with current contact information. If and when you choose to contact your bargaining delegates, please use their home email addresses whenever possible. Remember that the state owns our work email, and we have no expectation of privacy when using that system.
