Join fellow union members in using our organized power to fight for public funding for research and education, as well as for the programs and safety nets needed for ASEs, Postdocs, and other working people in Washington to live healthy and fulfilling lives. While the Puget Sound area is home to some of the largest multinational corporations and the nation’s wealthiest billionaires, Washington State has the most unfair, regressive tax system of any state. With state budgets starved for cash, funding for research and education are constantly under threat. The newly formed Income Inequality working group will be working on organizing at the local, state, and federal level so that we can expand the pie instead of fighting over an ever-shrinking one. Our first meeting will be today, Thursday, February 17th, at 12:00 PM. Please register here if you’re interested, even if you can’t make the initial meeting!
