Representation
Professional staff with years of training and expertise
coordinate and support your rights under the Collective
Bargaining Agreement through grievances, legal remedies,
legislative/political action, education, and work place
actions.
Better Pay & Benefits
WPEA negotiated in our master Collective Bargaining
Agreements a cost of living adjustment for our members –
the first one in four years, as well as a lower employee
contribution for health care.
Grievance Handling
WPEA provides aggressive representation of grievances
through formalized procedures to ensure management
follows the Collective Bargaining Agreement provisions
and rules.
Employee Rights
Under WPEA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement you are
protected from arbitrary management practices and unfair
discipline.
Merit Standards
WPEA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement reinforces merit
principles so that promotions and appointments are based
upon WHAT you know, not WHO
you know.
Job Security
WPEA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement directs how
layoffs must be handled, and forces the State to
negotiate every time they consider contracting out.
Legislative Representation
WPEA’s legislative-political action program promotes
members’ needs and goals through lobbying on important
state employee issues.
Advocate Training
WPEA trains our members to be effective employee
advocates in the workplace by ensuring our Job
Representatives have a clear understanding of our
Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Union & Management Working Together
The new Union-Management Communication Committees
negotiated in WPEA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement
maximizes employee participation in workplace decisions,
while minimizing autocratic management.
Unified Voice
One person acting alone cannot effect change. By being
part of a strong union like WPEA, you build group power
to achieve member-driven goals. |
