The City of Beaverton bargaining team voted to sign a Tentative Agreement! The TA is final after the bargaining unit members vote on it. This agreement gives us a financial boost and greatly expands support for parents and caregivers, health insurance, and education.

Here a few highlights of the Tentative Agreement:

• A 3-year contract with a 2.05% COLA.
• Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and Foster Care Placement leave goes from 2 weeks to 4 weeks.
• Pregnancy loss is now a qualifier for bereavement leave.
• Allows for 12 hours annually to volunteer with nonpolitical community organizations during paid work hours.
• Protected health insurance: our new contract would guarantee that the city pays 95% of our premiums for full-time employees.
• City has agreed to online learning fees being covered for reimbursement.
• A program has been created to allow employees in financial need to apply to receive tuition prior to classes starting.
