KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Oregon Technical Institute continues to negotiate with a union representing teachers and faculty.
The faculty union at the Oregon Institute of Technology went on strike at the beginning of last week, making it the first public college faculty to ever go on strike in Oregon.
The strike, organized through Oregon Tech – American Association of University Professors (OT-AAUP), said it’s demanding fair wages, secure benefits and a reasonable, clearly defined workload.
“While it’s disappointing some faculty have chosen to walk away from their classes despite a generous offer from Oregon Tech,” the school said in a press release, “the university is prepared to continue operations with minimal disruption to classes or services.”
Feb. 24, 1921 â City Jail Capacity Is Doubled; $1.75 Assures Comfort
Something had to be done. Redmond ordinarily has had but few prisoners in the city jail, but last week four were registered and taxed accommodations so heavily that some conveniences had to be borrowed for the night.
So the matter has been fixed. Albert Julian, city marshal, and M.A. Cunning, city recorder, were in attendance at an auction sale and bought a double bed and springs for $1.25 and paid fifty cents cartage. This was upon their own responsibility, but the council Tuesday night placed the âokehâ on the transaction and ordered the $1.75 be paid.
