Clackamas County Employees' Association

Last week, Florencia Rubio, a CCEA member, passed away under heartbreaking circumstances, along with two of her children. Her surviving 20 year old son has launched a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs and support as he navigates this extremely difficult chapter. www.gofundme.com/.../remember....

We had a massive turnout in our first strike authorization vote, and over 90% voted to authorize a strike. Thank you to all of our members and all of the members of the community who have supported us.

Members have spoken at BCC meetings and made their voice heard a total of 32 times. We have made connections with community groups, local businesses and other labor unions.

31 members stepped up to be strike captains, and other members have helped in other ways. People have volunteered so many hours of their time doing everything from answering their team’s questions to securing a donation of porta-potties.

We launched a social media presence, which has led to attention and support from the community. We have been reported on by The Oregonian, OPB, KOIN, KGW, Carpenter Media and more.

We have gained over 300 new dues paying members since October. We raised almost $10,000 for our solidarity fund, which gives us an incredible head start for next time.

We have accomplished so much in this bargaining cycle, and we could not be more proud of our members for how they have stepped up.

We know this is not enough and that our members deserve more, but it is a start, and we will keep fighting. Our union is in the strongest place it has ever been, and we will continue building on this momentum.

While we know that one floating holiday is not adequate, it is still a victory, and we will keep fighting for part-time and temporary employees in the next bargaining cycle.

We also secured one floating paid holiday for temporary and part-time workers after 12 months of service, because temporary and part-time employees are doing so much to keep the county running.

Because of the hard work, engagement and unified stance of CCEA members, the county caved on a retroactive cost-of-living adjustment, something they said they would never do.

Earlier this week, the county came to us with a new offer. Today, CCEA members have voted to ratify the contracts. This means we will not be striking on Monday.

Attacks on public services and public workers are unacceptable. Clackamas County workers deserve to be treated fairly! Donate to support them, small donations add up!

The county has presented our members with an offer which included an ultimatum, so our Monday mediation session has now been canceled. It is looking more and more likely that our members could vote to strike very soon. Please donate to our solidarity fund to help support our efforts and our members!

Don may have retired from Clackamas County, but the former CCEA president hasn't retired from standing up for workers.

Thursday wasn't Natalie's first time speaking at a Board of County Commissioners meeting...it was her eighth. Thank you, Natalie, for your commitment to fighting for what's right.

On Thursday, March 20, many of our members spoke their minds to the Board of County Commissioners. Thank you to Patrick for serving on the negotiating team and for speaking at the meeting.

On Thursday, March 20, our members bravely showed up at the Board of County Commissioners meeting to make their voices heard. We'll be sharing some of their powerful words over the next few days.

If you agree that the commissioners need to show up and respond to our outstanding proposals so we can come to an agreement and avoid a strike, you can let them know at the business meeting this Thursday, in person or virtually. Sign up here.

Enough is enough—we need action, not more stalling. We are asking the commissioners to show up themselves for our next mediation session on March 24.
