Board of Trustees Practice Picket Friday 9am ASRC

Mediation Debrief Sessions
The bargaining team will host a second mediation debrief session tomorrow, January 22nd, 5:30-6:15pm on Zoom, to update members on mediation and provide space to get involved with organizing our bargaining unit. Look for the member invite in your inboxes from PSU-AAP.

Board of Trustees
Based on a disappointing refusal by PSU administration to engage on economics inside mediation so far, there will be a PSU-AAUP practice picket directly outside PSU’s trustees meeting on Friday 1/24 at 9am. With 9 days until nearly 1,200 PSU-AAUP represented workers can declare impasse -and thereby move closer towards a potential strike- all of our attending in solidarity will be important. The more of us there, the more of a credible strike threat we show administrators. Help show PSU’s developer trustees -some of whom make $8M+ a year off of Portland’s real estate market- the power needed to settle a fair contract, stop the layoffs, and win the conditions faculty, staff, and students deserve. RSVP here and ask coworkers, students, and community allies to do the same.

Strike Fund
Circulate our strike fund on social media with a personal appeal to the community about what is at stake for you, your coworkers, your students, PSU, and Portland in this contract fight. One member raised over $750 for our strike fund by explaining the stakes in an email to her friends, family, and network.
