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

If you haven’t already, please fill out the bargaining survey so your voice is heard. Use this form to indicate your interest in participating in the bargaining process.
