On May 14, the University of Oregon Student Workers Union ratified its first contract after 95.4% of members who participated in the vote approved it, according to a social media post. 

The vote opened on May 9 at 10 a.m. and closed on May 14 at 5 p.m. 

The contract includes, but is not limited to, an increase in starting wages to $16 per hour, sick leave for work study and harassment protections. 

The contract comes after a 10-day strike, which started on April 28 and ended on May 7. The strike came after nearly 11 months of bargaining between UOSW and the university. 

According to UO Spokesperson Eric Howald, the university is “pleased that members of UO Student Workers have voted to ratify their first collective bargaining agreement.”  

“This agreement represents a meaningful milestone in our ongoing efforts to recognize the valuable contributions of student workers and to build a more inclusive and supportive working environment on campus,” Howald said.
