Labor Relations

Program
The City of Portland works closely with 14 labor unions, representing more than 6,200 employees – from facilities technicians to police officers to office workers. A contract with each union establishes members’ pay, vacation, benefits and more.
A photo collage shows three images: a lab worker pouring fluid into a beaker, a police officer draping their arm around a fellow officer in a gesture of support, and a fleet technician working on a white truck.
