From: https://wfse.org/news/walkout-august-31st
After being told “not a dime” had been authorized by Governor Ferguson’s negotiations team for public workers 2027-29 union contracts, WFSE announced:
A statewide Walkout With Washington on August 31st
A call to action to send a letter to Governor Ferguson, OFM, and higher education leadership
Unfortunately, during a recent negotiations session, Governor Ferguson’s negotiations team admitted that they hadn’t been authorized to spend a dime one our 2027-29 contracts.
Now is a time to use our numbers. Our walkout will show our elected officials, higher ed leaders, and their negotiations teams that we’re organized and paying attention to what’s happening at the negotiating tables.
This is a coordinated action where folks will take regularly scheduled break, lunch, or vacation time to get outside, get press attention, and bring our message to our communities.
To see where all the walkouts are taking place visit: Walkout with Washington for Public Services – 8/31/26
At 12:00 pm August 31, WFSE members and our community allies will be walking out of work and demanding a fair contract for Washington’s public workers.
