Bargaining Support

Consultation or at-the-table bargaining - We walk you through the entire bargaining process, from setting board goals to developing proposals. Whether you need at the table representation or just someone to review proposals, OSBA is here to assist. If you need advice or a negotiator, call OSBA.

Interest-based bargaining - We work with your board and employee team to examine interest-based bargaining models and find  one to best suit your district or college. We train groups, both employees and management, wanting to use interest-based-bargaining and also facilitate these processes.

Contract proposal analysis  - Our staff analyzes labor contracts and employee and union proposals. We clarify mandatory and permissive subjects of bargaining and identify language that limits management flexibility or impedes student achievement.

For any of these services, please contact Labor Relations at (503) 588-2800 or (800) 578-6722.
