On 5/18/21, we reached tentative agreement with UW on a new three-year contract that includes 9.27% total wage increases for base rate and hourly ASEs, an additional paid EPIC trainer, as well as improvements we had previously won on gender affirming care, mental health, childcare, and more.

This tentative agreement is not yet final contract language. To be finalized, the contract must be ratified by a member-wide vote. If the tentative agreement passes the ratification vote, we’ll have a new contract immediately; if not, we’ll go back into bargaining. The ratification vote will be held online by the Elections Committee beginning this Friday 5/21. To help make sure members have all the information needed to make an informed vote, all members are encouraged to join open discussion sessions.
