UW Bargaining Update: 7/30/09


We continue to be disappointed in the UW’s negotiations team’s refusal to bargain over anything significant.  While insisting that they have the right to everything else we bargained last year, they have made it clear that they believe economics are off the table.

As you no doubt remember, we made the decision to forgo across the board increases in order to keep layoffs to a minimum.  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.

Shared Leave

Hi, My name is Anna Poole and I’m a Program Coordinator for the Department of Radiology at the University of Washington. In November I had to have surgery on My Left Foot and used all my sick leave plus leave donated by some of my coworkers in Radiology. I’m scheduled to have a second foot surgery on Feb. 19th. I’ll be on leave without pay for 6 to 8 weeks. I’m in need of shared leave and would greatly appreciate any leave donated by my fellow SEIU Local 925 members. Thank you!
