Background<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This recap details the twenty forth session for the negotiation for the collective bargaining agreement between SEIU 925-Continuum College and UW. Recaps are published online on the\u00a0UW Labor Relations website.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UW – Counter Proposals<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Performance Evaluation <\/strong><\/h5>\n

In response to the Union, the Employer proposed language that the Employer would, make available training opportunities for all managers and supervisors regarding the Employer\u2019s performance evaluation program and would upon request, share and discuss the contents of such training opportunities with the Union.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SEIU 925 Continuum College – Counter Proposals<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Health & Safety <\/strong><\/h5>\n

In response to the Employer, the Union proposed language that if work is suspended in accordance with the Inclement Weather and Suspended Operations article.\u00a0 Affected employees may be assigned to alternative work sites, including telework work sites, until the hazardous condition is rectified and operations are no longer suspended and If assignment to an alternative work site is not possible and it is not possible to telework and the supervisor decides to send the employee(s) home, those employees sent home would receive their regular pay for all time the employee(s) is scheduled to work on the day of the incident.. The Union also proposed that the supervisor\/manager would provide training and equipment for staff to safely perform job functions and avoid injury.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Financial Communications & Transparency <\/strong><\/h5>\n

In response to the Employer, the Union proposed that in the annual recap, the Employer would communicate information on revenue spending on internal and external projects and external funding sources, including but not limited to gifts, grants and scholarships.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hours of Work <\/strong><\/h5>\n

In response to the Employer,\u00a0the Union reasserted \u00a0language around work outside the scope of their job classification, excessive workload, and inequitable distribution of work projects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Classification and Reclassification <\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Union proposed language that all new SEIU 925 Continuum College job profiles would be considered included in the bargaining unit, unless exempted by law (RCW 41.56.401and that language would not be considered a waiver of the rights of either party.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tentative Agreements<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Reasonable Accommodations <\/strong><\/p>\n

The parties agreed to an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract. Language was added around the Leave and Accommodation Specialist as well as promoting accessibility in the workplace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Management Rights<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The parties agreed to an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the\u00a0SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a>\u00a0contract. Edits were made where classification and reclassification were replaced with job profile assignment and position review.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next Steps<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The next UW and SEIU 925 Continuum College bargaining session is scheduled for December 18, 2025 and will be held virtually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
