Labor Dispute Settled in Clatsop County School District

The Oregon School Employees Association and the Seaside School District reached a settlement agreement regarding a labor dispute. The dispute centered on the formal discipline of Meghan McKeown, OSEA Seaside Chapter 107 President, who was disciplined for discussing contract negotiations over workplace safety during a school board meeting in November 2025. The district agreed that the disciplinary action against McKeown should not have been taken and hindered protected union activity.

The settlement addresses claims that the discipline of Meghan McKeown was retaliatory and violated Oregon’s Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act. This resolution impacts labor relations and workplace safety standards within the local public education sector in Clatsop County.
