We’re having a picnic to celebrate winning our union and the start of bargaining! Please join us to celebrate, connect with colleagues old and new, and enjoy the Seattle summer with food, drinks, and lawn games! The picnic will be on Sunday, August 14th, 6pm at Gas Works Park. Pizza and drinks will be provided, but feel free to bring a side to share. Partners and children are more than welcome! 

Please RSVP by August 12th for further details: https://forms.gle/cbFM5Ef7vWE4QB4w9

We are a little over a week out from our first bargaining session on August 15th from 1-3pm! If you haven’t already, please review our Initial Bargaining Demands and add your name here — this should take no more than a few minutes. Each name added strengthens our bargaining position and helps ensure that we are able to negotiate a strong contract!

We will also have our monthly union meeting on August 18th at 5pm. Please register here for the zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qcOCuqT0iGNFMDqyNpL9FpaXuKlnvcWAz 

Thank you for your continued support! If you’re interested in becoming more involved, please reply to this email; there are opportunities to contribute, both small and large.
