August 31, 2023 – IBEW Local 89: Oregon Legislative Staff Tentative Agreement
We are excited to report we reached tentative agreement on all outstanding articles on our first collective bargaining agreement with the Assembly! We are really pleased with the work of both teams to get us to this point and appreciate the successful working relationship we developed over the course of our bargaining. We are looking forward to continuing to work together into the administration phase of the contract.
The next step for both parties is to communicate the detailed provisions of the tentative agreement and to seek ratification. IBEW is responsible for the union ratification process and the Presiding Officers are responsible for the branch ratification. Both IBEW and the Assembly team plan to communicate the details of the settlement after we’ve had time to put together the full tentative agreement early next week. We recognize there are likely lots of questions and we want to be sure everyone has the information they need for ratification.
We are proud of this historic achievement and look forward to sharing more details in the coming week.
