SEIU 1199NW – UW Negotiations Recap for March 18 & March 19, 2025
Background
This recap details the second and third sessions for the renewal of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the University of Washington and Service Employees International Union 1199NW (SEIU 1199NW). Recaps are published online on the UW Labor Relations Negotiations Updates website.
The negotiation teams for the University of Washington and SEIU 1199NW are participating in collaborative bargaining which requires the parties spending intentional time getting to know one another, as well as describing interests and concerns prior to submitting proposals.
At the March 18th and March 19th sessions, the parties discussed the interests and concerns regarding the Language Pay Premium and Employee/Supervisor Feedback.
Next Steps
The parties have identified several dates in April in which small groups will meet to discuss issues applicable to Harborview Medical Center/Airlift Northwest, UW Medical Center Northwest/UW Medicine Primary Care Clinics, per diems, and standby. These sessions will be in person and start on April 1, 2025.
