Corvallis Gazette-Times: EOU union reaches a deal
The faculty union at Eastern Oregon University reached a tentative agreement on a revised contract, likely preventing the first-ever strike at a state university in Oregon.
The union, Associated Academic Professionals, will vote to ratify the deal Tuesday.
“We achieved some justice,” said union president Greg Monahan.
The EOU faculty contract expires June 30, 2007. However, the contract has a reopener clause that allows salary and other portions of the contract to be renegotiated. Mindful of Eastern Oregon’s status as the lowest-paying among the Oregon University System schools, the union had asked for salary increases.
