Other bargaining updates-Economic (Central Table) updates as of 6/16/23

• Management proposed a package that included COLAs of 5.1% on September 1, 2023, and another 5.1% on September 1, 2024.
• Management continues to propose moving to a biweekly pay schedule, which management claims will help resolve many of the issues related to Workday.
• Management also proposed several improvements to differentials including increasing the Essential Worker Inclement Weather/Hazardous Conditions pay differential to $3 per hour and expanding it to anyone who has to work in person during these events (including ODOT coalition workers)
• Paid leave around inclement weather: Allowing employees to use inclement weather leave for a full day, and eliminating the requirement that essential employees must use leave without pay when unable to get to work.
• Remote work: We are making incremental progress to language temporarily modifying remote work agreements.
