SEIU represents approximately 1,500 classified staff members who perform a wide range of important functions in areas such as facilities, administrative support, health care, dining services, and information technology.
Contract negotiations with SEIU are led by University Shared Services Enterprise, which provides a variety of functions for Oregon’s seven public universities, including the University of Oregon.
2026 Negotiations
Seven Oregon public universities have been negotiating with SEIU on a successor contract since February 2026. On August 7, 2026, SEIU declared an impasse in the negotiations. The next step is for each party to present a final offer by August 14, 2026, after which they will enter a mandatory 30-day cooling-off period before a strike can occur.
