When one side consistently responds in days, and the other side takes months, it isn't a scheduling issue—it is a bargaining strategy.
The timeline below proves that the Union is doing the work to reach a fair contract. Every time we submit a proposal, the District forces us to wait. They are running out the clock on the classified staff who keep this district running.

The only way to force the District to the table to finalize this contract is by showing them we are united. When our membership numbers hit 80%, they can no longer afford to ignore our proposals or run out the clock on our livelihoods.
Higher membership strips away their ability to delay and forces them to bargain in good faith.
Don't let them hold our contract hostage. Join OSEA Chapter 100 today.
