In Solidarity with WFSE we are asking WPEA members to call the Governor.
We must take action before our next negotiations session to push back against the state's unfair compensation proposal for our 2025-27 contract. Call (1-888-260-4126) to hear a short recording from WFSE and to be connected with the Governor's Office where you can leave a message. Lines are open 8am - 5pm, M-F. Need talking points? See Below. Every call counts!
Make sure it's clear you're represented by WPEA so the governor knows where the pressure is coming from. - This is (Name). I'm an employee at (your employer) represented by the Washington Public Employee Association. - I'm calling on the Governor to ensure WPEA members receive a fair 2025-27 contract with compensation that reflects the importance of our work. - The services Washingtonians depend on are already stretched thin. Now is the time for an investment in the folks who do the work that keeps our state running. - Thank you for your time.
Feel free to add details about how your specific work benefits Washingtonians and about how the state's failure to pay you a fair wage hurts you and the Washingtonians you work for.
You can make an even greater impact by sending an email to the Director of the Office of Financial Management at [email protected] and the Gov's Chief of Staff at joby.shimomura@gov.wa.gov.
