With COVID surging once again in our schools and community, you would think that OUSD management would finally be ready to talk seriously about safety. Yet they continue to put the health and lives of OUSD employees, students, and our families on the line by refusing to bargain on COVID safety.

In fact, despite the bargaining team hustling tirelessly for six months to get a fair contract, there has been precious little movement at the table:

The workers of Contra Costra County’s Mosquito and Vector Control District recently voted unanimously to ratify their hard-won new contract, bringing a long campaign to an end. The new three-year contract includes a 1.5% raise and $1,600 signing bonus in the first year, with raises in the second and third years based on the published Consumer Price Index, with a 1% minimum and 4% maximum, to keep these workers from falling behind. The unit’s seasonal aides also received an additional $3 per hour.
