CPPW email – How to Prepare to Strike

Our contract fight and the possible strike is about issues: Wages that keep pace with inflation. Parity with other city workers. Fair compensation for the skills, experiences, and critical services you provide to Portlanders. Respect. A stable future.

You and your coworkers have come together to say, We will not continue to fall behind and watch the City balance its budget on the backs of its workers while paying out millions on things like executive severances, contracts to nowhere, and new layers of management.

While your Bargaining Team continues to try and settle this contract at the table, if the City leadership fails to offer real solutions to the issues above, you and your coworkers will go on strike together on Monday, November 9.
