Before the announcement was made, however, we asked for and received assurances from the UW Administration that NO ONE was getting raises. That meant no raises for classified or non-classified, union or non-union.

Hundreds of SEIU Local 925 members brought forward great ideas for improving the quality of University of Washington services for students, faculty, researchers, and patients. Kaylen Bennett, Tom Clevenger and Kathy Thomason were honored for the best ideas on September 26. They will share $1,000 in prize money--and our union's commitment to help implement their ideas.
