Background

UW Counter Proposals
Article 9 – Other Compensation
The Employer proposed language updates to this article that would allow more flexibility regarding the Call Staffing Committee and the reporting of data. In the Employer’s proposal, data would be reported every quarter instead of monthly and instead of setting standing meetings, either party could request and Ad Hoc Call Staffing Committee meeting. The Employer’s proposal also requires the party requesting the meeting to provide the agenda which would determine the list of attendees. In this proposal, committee meetings would be attended by at least one management representative from each designated unit or department and the Union could have up to two representatives per unit or department. Finally, the Employer proposed that these meetings be scheduled for one hour and attendees would be paid at the appropriate rate of pay for the meeting and up to 30 minutes of pre-meeting time.
Next Steps
The next SEIU 1199NW and UW bargaining session is scheduled for June 17, 2025, and will be held in person.
