It's time to vote!


We have a tentative contract agreement with the State of Washington. The coalition negotiation team worked extremely hard during this difficult time in order to reach this tentative agreement. Your negotiation team is recommending a YES vote.

Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic crisis and its effects on the state budget, no one was able to gain any wage increases for the life of the contract. We were able to bargain some meaningful contract language that applies to Safety in the Workplace, professional training and meal and rest breaks.

Please come and vote:

Date- September 24, 2020
Time- 1 to 3 p.m.
Place- Outside
the Walla Walla Veterans Home by the main entrance


(The tentative agreement will be available for your review during the voting times)

Only members in good standing are eligible to vote.
