Bargaining Kick-off Rally - June 2024 Recap

Carrying large, fabric signs that read “Working Conditions Create Learning Conditions” and “Cutting Programs Means Cutting People,” over 100 faculty, staff, students, and allies marched from the Park Blocks to the steps of the Neuberger Center to stage a speakout about the impact of additional cuts. Angela Bonilla, President of the Portland Association of Teachers, Ariana Jacob, PSU adjunct and AFT-Oregon President, rank and file leaders from SEIU 89, SEIU, 49, and New Seasons Labor Union spoke out on the administration building steps, expressing their solidarity with us as we go to the bargaining table.
