Oregon AFSCME Local 3295 Bargaining Summary 2025-2027

(please see separate document for Central Table overview)

ARTICLE SUMMARY

• A55 Discipline and Discharge: Added language that disciplinary documents will be sent to the union electronically. 

• A43 Leave of Absence With Pay: For the existing language that makes an employee whole when on worker’s compensation after a work related physical assault, employees who qualify are now to automatically receive the supplemental pay for up to 150 days (was 30 days with a process to apply to extend that duration at the agency director’s discretion). 

• A40 Sick Leave: New language added in which employees may request sick leave without pay when they have exhausted all of their earned sick leave.

• A20 Differentials: the night shift differential was increased to $10.00 per hour (was $5.00); updated unit lead language to include lead designated tasks per policy/procedure; retained unit leads status quo instead of designating nurses to fulfil duties when they are not a lead; increases the preceptor differential to 5% (was 2.5%); added RNs to the leadwork differential language and moved it into its own leadwork section. 

• A63 Nurse Practitioners: Increased the annual medical education allowance to $3000 (was $2000).

• A45 Leave Administration: Instead of employees needing to elect to carry over up to 60 hours compensatory time on November 1 of each year, compensatory time exceeding 60 hours will now be cashed out. You may also request a payout of the remaining 60 hours or apply it to the annual accrual for the following year.
