According to the union's website, there have been two negotiating sessions and the second one has been more productive than the first.

Thanks to Tina Turner-Morfitt, President of the Oregon Chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and an AFSCME retiree and a Labor Chapter leader, and Melanie Zermer of KMUZ for doing that grewat interview. Sister Knock breaks down some complex issues in the interview.
