Corvallis Workers Strike After City Rejects Union Proposal on Pay
Politics
— 1d
Corvallis city workers represented by AFSCME Local 2975 went on strike Oct. 14 after contract talks failed, with the union citing inadequate raises, higher health premiums and other unresolved demands. The city says its offer—including a 6% first-year raise and 3% increases in each of the next two years—balances compensation with budget pressures, and has plans to keep services running, though some operations may be limited; emergency response is expected to continue unchanged.
