"The agreement puts an end to a 20-day strike—the first in the college's history—that the faculty union and the classified employees' union began on March 11."
"According to the agreement, full-time faculty members will receive a one-time $5,475 lump sum to make up for lost wages. Full-time academic professionals will receive a $5,000 payment, and part-time academic professionals will receive a $1,400 payment."
"We are pleased to be moving forward and refocusing on our core mission of educating students and serving our community. At the same time, our hearts are heavy because we know that this agreement is so far outside of our budget that it will result in significant additional cuts in the future."
The Portland Community College faculty union reached a tentative agreement, concluding a historic 20-day strike. Faculty will receive a one-time payment to compensate for lost wages, with full-time members getting $5,475, academic professionals $5,000, and part-time professionals $1,400. The agreement includes a 2 percent pay raise in the first year and a 3 percent raise in the second year. College president Adrien Bennings expressed concern over the budget implications of the agreement, indicating future cuts may be necessary.
