Bargaining season begins!

• ​Contract Bargaining with the Higher Ed Coalition began May 11.
• Contract Bargaining with General Government began May 26. 
• Bargaining for the Yakima Valley College and Highline College contracts will start in June.

There is a password-protected website set up just for bargaining. You’ll be able to get regular updates from the bargaining website all summer.  We’re expecting to have bargaining on these four contracts completed by the end of August, in time for a September ratification vote by the membership.  We’ll have updates on bargaining at Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries and Kitsap Regional Library as we get closer to bargaining this fall.

​To support your bargaining team, ask your staff rep, shop stewards or local bargaining team member about getting a pro-bargaining button to wear with Union pride at your worksite.  Good luck to all the bargaining teams as they head to the table!
