Bargaining begins in less than a month! Have you endorsed the Initial Bargaining Demands? Hundreds of UW Researchers have added their name to the IBDs already, and we want to reach majority support to demonstrate to administration that we are united in our demands.
By adding your name to the Initial Bargaining Demands, you help send the message that we are committed to winning a strong contract focused on:
- Supporting successful career paths for Researchers;
- Improving pay and benefits to reflect the value of Researchers’ work;
- Building an inclusive, accessible, equitable, and diverse research community at UW; and
- Fostering a safe, fair, and productive work environment.
View the IBDs and add your name here. Please encourage your colleagues to endorse the Initial Bargaining Demands, as well!
The first bargaining session is scheduled for August 15th from 1-3pm. It’s not too late to support the Bargaining Committee in developing our proposals by taking the bargaining survey.
Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for updates. Respond to this email if you’d like to get more involved.
