We are pleased to announce that Avamere Beaverton ratified a new first contract! Our SEIU Bargaining Team members are Launa Monken, Julieta Bonoan, Patti Feigert with Beca Beeman serving as our chief spokesperson assisted by Katie Coombes.

For over seven months we held the line and did not give up on solving wage inequities by establishing wage scales and other Avamere statewide contract standards. Members were united and conducted multiple solidarity actions to show support – and ultimately win. Workers will be seeing our new union contract pay increases – and a whole bunch of retro pay – next month.

“We are so proud that we all stood together over the last seven months of bargaining this first contract! We made it clear to management that EVERYONE deserved a fair contract—including long-term employees, evening, and NOC shift workers.”
