Portland city workers vote to authorize strike over pay equity and work incentives disputes.

More than 1,000 Portland city workers, represented by AFSCME Local 189, have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike if contract negotiations with the city fail. The union claims the city refuses to address issues like pay equity and incentives for in-person work. With no agreement reached after mediation, the union may issue a strike notice as early as February 6, potentially disrupting essential city services.
