PSU-AAUP vote to authorize a strike if bargaining fails

March 21, 2025 / PSU-AAUP

Dear PSU colleagues,

After over 190 hours of bargaining since June 2024, administration has not finalized a contract with layoff protections and shared governance respect. In this context, we’re holding a vote to let the bargaining team authorize a strike if bargaining fails, March 31st at noon in the URBN Building, Room 212 (Parson's Gallery). Wear your PSU-AAUP red.

Strike Authorization In Person Vote
URBN Building, Room 212
506 SW Mill St, Portland, OR 97201

12pm - 2pm
 

We already know we have the votes to win overwhelmingly at any turnout. The larger our margin of victory, the more likely we can settle without having to strike. If you’re one of the few who haven’t filled out your strike pledge, let us know you’re with us in winning in a landslide here:

Strike Pledge

We’re encouraging all members to vote in person on 3/31 so we can get our overwhelming majority of votes in as quickly as possible and so we can document this moment to help send a message about how strike ready we are. If you cannot vote in person on March 31st, please stop by the union office (SMSU, Room 232) to vote Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday between 10am and 5:30pm.

If you’re immunocompromised or work remotely and cannot be there for in person voting, please email aaup@psuaaup.net to request to vote remotely.

Strike vote results and final pre-strike practice picket 
Then bring all your students, colleagues, and community allies to join us for the results of the strike vote at our final pre-strike practice picket 9am Friday, April 4th in front of the board of trustees.
