The nomination period is open for electing a Bargaining Committee! You are encouraged to self-nominate if you would like to participate. Members play an integral role in the bargaining process.
Working together, the Bargaining Committee will:
- Develop bargaining proposals;
- Meet with UW management during bargaining sessions;
- Communicate with RSEs about bargaining meetings;
- Engage in outreach/organizing to build power; and
- Mobilize to win demands.
Qualifications:
- All RSEs A-4 are eligible to join.
- No bargaining experience is required.
- A wide range of research, work experience, and representation is encouraged.
Use this link to accept nomination. The nomination period ends tomorrow, Thursday 6/23 at 5pm PDT. Nominees will be elected in a unit-wide vote via email.
Bargaining Preparation Underway
