Local 1488 Plans Rally In Support Of PAC Unit

As many of you are aware, we have a number of outstanding issues at the University of Washington with action pending.

Our members who were moved from one work location to another (the PAC unit) and then told they are no longer covered by the contract are still battling back with full union support. The following message is from Vanessa, WFSE Organizer, who is assigned to work with them:

“We are planning a candle light vigil as a united action to demonstrate our concern about the way in which the UW is dealing with its employees. At the call center (Pac) unit employees our members are being discriminated against in many forms. There seems to be age discrimination, racism, including discriminatory behavior toward employees with serious health issues. The tentative date and time is January 14th at 5:00 PM at Harborview Medical Center 9th and James Street.” Please support these workers and attend if you are able.
