Bargaining Begins
Our first bargaining session was January 12, where we
presented our first series of proposals to the Homecare
Commission to improve language on late paychecks, timely
issuance of vouchers, allowing vouchers to be submitted by
fax and streamlining the grievance procedure.
Next bargaining dates are February 9, February 23, March 2,
and March 23 in Salem. Members are always welcome to
attend bargaining. Please call a member of the bargaining
team or your organizer for more information.
We have also scheduled lobby days in Salem on Thursday,
February 1 st, Thursday, March 1 st and Thursday, March 29th.
If you've never attended, you're missing out on a great
experience. Fill out the Lobby Day Registration Form on
Page 3 and come. Mileage over 20 miles round trip, meals,
and lodging, if necessary, will be provided.
Meet your
Bargaining Team
The real bargaining begins with the members
and it is so important for our co-workers to
support the bargaining team by turning out
to lobby days in Salem to talk to legislators
about the homecare program, attending
regional meetings in your areas, perhaps
being a phone tree captain and staying
informed about the bargaining process.
Joye Willman, Chair, Homecare Bargaining Team
& As negotiations begin, we are looking at
what our members have listed as their
priorities and using those priorities to guide
us. I'm honored to help lead a very talented
bargaining team. We are going to pay close
attention to the details that makes for a
strong contract that values our work, qq
