OSEA chapters worked hard all year to boost outreach, engagement and union membership. And it shows! The chapters listed below earned at least 70 percent membership, earning an incentive payment through OSEA's Membership Incentive Program (MIP).
The benefits of chapter organizing go far beyond the MIP. Strong membership rates show that employees are united and standing together, leading to bigger wins at the bargaining table and stronger contracts.
21 chapters reached the MIP threshold this year, with three chapters — Fern Ridge Library Chapter 39, Forest Grove Custodians Chapter 301 and The Lighthouse School Chapter 160 — achieving 100 percent membership!
