Upcoming Bargaining Sessions
We’ve got a busy month ahead with three bargaining sessions scheduled for October. We’ll be bargaining with UW admin on October 5th, 11th, and 17th. To attend the next session on October 5th, please register here for the 10/5 caucus link. Our caucus starts at 8am and then bargaining will take place from 9am-5pm. (Registration links for the 11th and 17th will be in future emails.) Throughout the bargaining process, please follow full proposal exchanges at the Bargaining Center.
Have questions about how bargaining works? We created this fact sheet to break down the bargaining process.
Save the Date
October is almost here, and the next General Meeting will be held on Thursday, October 20th at noon on the South Lake Union campus (attending via Zoom will also be an option). These meetings are a great opportunity to meet colleagues, get the latest bargaining updates, ask questions, and find opportunities to get involved in the union. Mark your calendar, and stay tuned for a forthcoming email with more details and the link to RSVP.
In the News
UW Researchers United was featured as one of the recent union victories, alongside our Postdoc colleagues at Mount Sinai who won their union election in June (and workers at an Apple Store and Trader Joe’s!).
If you’d like to become more involved, there are both small and large ways to contribute. Please email contact@uwresearchersunited.
