SEIU union declares impasse in contract talks covering 4,500 Oregon public university classified employees.

Oregon's classified employees at seven public universities, represented by SEIU Local 503, have declared an impasse in contract negotiations with the schools over wage increases. The universities proposed a 14% raise over three years, while the union sought a 16.25% increase. Both parties will submit final contract offers to the Oregon Employee Relations Board by March 1, with a 30-day cooling-off period before settlement.
