Faculty members at Central Oregon Community College have escalated a long-running salary dispute, issuing formal threats of a potential strike if negotiations with administrators fail to reach a resolution. The conflict centers on concerns over compensation fairness, with educators arguing that current pay levels do not reflect their qualifications, workload, or the rising cost of living. Union representatives have framed the impasse as a broader issue of undervaluing higher education professionals in the region. With tensions rising, the college administration now faces pressure to address demands before the situation disrupts classes and campus operations.
