AFT University of Washington English Language Faculty
We are faculty at the University of Washington English Language Program.
We are dedicated and professional educators serving UW students and community since 1979. Please support our effort to negotiate a fair contract with the University of Washington.
We have a new contract!
12/11/2018
We have been fighting for a contract, respect, and wage increases for over 20 months with the University of Washington. We have seen very little progress or willingness to bargain from the other side. Our wages are being withheld and the UW is trying get us to give up. We will continue to fight and we need your help. It will only take a minute or so to sign our petition. Thank you kindly in advance for your help. https://chn.ge/2Qz8PzV

Celebrating the first contract!
Finally. Persistence pays off and the Blue team sees success. A huge thank you, which falls far too short in measure, to the bargaining team (Richard, Mihaela, Kim, Rozanna, Alex J., Peter M.) and all others who have worked so long for this success. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Way to fight the good fight blue team, now to revel, celebrate, and teach.
Contract voting today. It is nice to finally be able to say that!
