Working together to provide quality education for children & students, ensure that education remains a state priority, & provide quality public services.
@seiu925.bsky.socialI don't know about y'all, but President Jones' "State of the University" speech had us feeling like #20. How about you?
@seiu925.bsky.socialSometimes we just need a shift in perspective. 🧐
@seiu925.bsky.socialBesides seething with rage?? I've been busy alongside my coworkers.
@seiu925.bsky.socialagreed!
@seiu925.bsky.socialManagement's final offer to our union included 0% wage increases, no extra PTO, no help for staffing or workload concerns. Our members voted to reject this "offer" and we urge UW to come back to the table to bargain a fair contract.
@seiu925.bsky.social0% raises for the next two years is beyond disrespectful. Our members voted NO on UW’s last, best, and final offer for a new contract and we are taking action for a fair agreement. Now chant with us… 📣 C-O-L-A 🗣️ U-DUB WORKERS NEED FAIR PAY!
@seiu925.bsky.socialHAPPENING NOW: Union members are showing up loud & strong ahead of President Jones’ address. The University of Washington is only a world-renowned institution because of its employees. Workers across UW's academic and medical systems can barely make ends meet. FAIR CONTRACT NOW! 📣✊💫
@seiu925.bsky.socialHigh costs create a strain on workers and their families, and the University of Washington’s low wages mean that critical academic support, research, and medical facilities can't keep full & safe staffing levels. FAIR CONTRACT NOW! (COLA = Cost of living adjustment)
@seiu925.bsky.socialNever forget your Weingarten Rights!
@seiu925.bsky.socialThis Thursday, President Jones plans to give his “State of the University." Show up @ 11:30am, 10/8, right after his speech for THE PEOPLE’S STATE OF THE UNIVERSITY by the HUB Lawn!

@seiu925.bsky.socialAlright y'all, which team are you picking to represent you at the bargaining table? 🤔
@seiu925.bsky.socialThank you Senator Emily Alvarado and Representative Mia Gregerson for visiting one of our union child care programs to learn about multicultural early childhood education and how the Somali community is dealing with racist attacks against our families.
@seiu925.bsky.socialGotta love a union cutie! 🥰
@seiu925.bsky.socialWith all the troubles we're having with our employers (UW's 0% offer, King County's no step increases, K12 binding conditions). We are training a new batch of leaders to join the fight for workers' rights. 💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼
@seiu925.bsky.socialWe joined our union siblings across the labor movement for the first ever Walktober! We talked to our neighbors about No Hate in WA State (NO on I-001 & I-638), NO 645, and endorsed candidates in SW WA. Ballots start getting mailed NEXT WEEK - Do you have a plan to vote?
@seiu925.bsky.socialTotally trash!
@seiu925.bsky.socialOh, the President wants to talk about the state of the university? Well, it's safe to say we have a few thoughts.
10/8 from approximately 10 AM - 12 PM. Be prepared to show up in your purple SEIU gear and show President Jones that we’re the ones who keep UW running.
@seiu925.bsky.socialIf he can’t appreciate the union difference, how is he going to appreciate you?
@seiu925.bsky.socialSEIU 925 members members found the University of Washington's "last, best, & final" contract offer unacceptable given cost of living in the region, unsustainable workloads, & persistent staffing problems due to retention issues.

@seiu925.bsky.socialWe know that budgets are tough right now – at the state, at the university, and in our own checking accounts. But the UW is sitting on $2 billion in unrestricted reserves, and a rainy day fund is there to get through times like these. The money is there. UW just needs to invest in us.
