University of Washington Local 1488 members joined coalition partners ata rally March 19 to spotlight the UW’s attempts to dramatically raise the cost ofthe U-Pass transit passes.

They chose the grand opening of the Husky Stadium light rail station tomake their point to UW Regents that the university was trying to make it harderfor UW workers to commute to work.

“With the cost of living, it’s getting less and less affordable to live in theCity of Seattle,” Local 1488 President Paula Lukaszek said.

“Our members are having to move outside Seattle, which means theyhave to use transit to come to work.”

The union coalition says the proposed hike in U-Pass costs came as theUW faces millions of dollars in back taxes from the city.

“They want the U-Pass holders to pay for that…,” Lukaszek said.

Gov. Jay Inslee won theunanimous endorsement ofelected delegates to the En-dorsements Conference of the40,000-member WashingtonFederation of State Employ-

ees/AFSCME Council 28 onApril 9 in Seattle.

Inslee is running for asecond term as governor. Theendorsement is signicant because WFSE/AFSCME isWashington’s largest stateemployees union.

Inslee earned praise forhis support of collective bar-gaining rights and state em-ployee contracts, and against budget gridlock that threat-ened a shutdown of stateservices.

The delegates also

weighed in on early endorse-ments in other statewide,federal and legislative racesand took positions on severalinitiatives.

They endorsed Bob Fer-guson for a second term asstate attorney general.

They chose former SeattleCity Councilmember TinaPodlodowski in the race forsecretary of state, now held byKim Wyman.

The delegates endorsedonly one federal candidate,Rep. Adam Smith, D-9, inorder to interview other can-didates who have not taken a

Gov. Jay Inslee endorsed for second term

position against the Trans-Pa-cic Partnership Agreement.The TPP is described by Pub-lic Citizen (http://www.citi-zen.org/tpp) as “a massive,controversial, pro-corporate‘free trade’ agreement amongthe United States and 11 othercountries” that will lead tooffshoring of American jobsand other anti-labor provi-sions.

Congressman Smith has

openly opposed the TPP.This is the rst round of

the union’s endorsementsprocess. More vetting of can-didates is needed in manyraces and several races arestill shaping up. The union’sStatewide Executive Boardand local interview teamsmay make additional recom-mendations.

The WFSE/AFSCMEendorsements conferencetook place now to forge posi-tions going into the statewideWashington State LaborCouncil “COPE” endorse-ments conference on May 21.

Governor signs bill for ‘hard-working

park rangers who keep us safe’It took several sessions,

but WFSE/AFSCME park an-ger members’ efforts to clarifytheir enforcement authoritypaid off April 1 as Gov. Jay In-slee signed Substitute HouseBill 2765 into law.

On hand for the bill sign-ing was Local 1466 memberAndy Kallinen who advo-cated on his colleagues’ behalf

during the legislative session.Inslee shook Kallinen’s

hand after praising the work

of the “hard-working parkrangers who do so much tokeep us safe.”

SHB 2765 claries park an-gers’ enforcement authority toprotect the public.

That includes enforcingthe law – and protect camp-ers and park visitors – onnarrowly dened sections of

adjacent non-park land, suchas a highway bisecting or con-necting parks.

WFSE/AFSCMEmembers and the people theycare for saw some gains inthe 2016 legislative session.But lawmakers kicked many

Session ends with some pluses, but many issues kicked down the roadissues down the road.

The Legislature adjournedits special session March 29after passing a supplemental budget that adds money forrespite beds at Yakima ValleySchool in Selah and fundsfor more staff and safety inMental Health.

It also rejected theSenate’s original proposalthat could have eroded yourhealth benets. The employercontribution rate still goesdown from $894 a month to$888 a month. But accordingto budget documents, the$888 PEBB rate is enoughto maintain fully fundedreserves, and uses only

surplus funds that haveaccrued due to reduced claimscosts. The Senate originallywanted a deeper cut.

The supplemental budgetalso funds the governor’sBlue Ribbon Commission onthe Delivery of Services toChildren and Families.

The House passed thecompromise supplemental budget (2ESHB 2376) ona vote of 78-17 with threeexcused. It passed the Senate27-17 with ve excused.

Unaddressed: Therecruitment and retentioncrisis in the DSHS Children’sAdministration and the

Department of Labor andIndustries Division ofOccupational Safety andHealth (DOSH). But the unionwill continue to seek solutionsin other venues.

Still, these efforts byWFSE/AFSCME memberselevated the recruitmentand retention crisis to apoint where it can no longer be ignored. Children’s andDOSH members were asteady presence in the hallsof the Capitol and governor’sofce. They pressed theircase that the state can’tcontinue losing good,qualied workers to crushingworkloads, understafng

and higher-paying jobs in theprivate sector.

Also: The Model ToxicsControl Act (MTCA) Accountadministered by WFSE/AFSCME members in Ecologysaw further erosion.

Children’s and DOSHmembers were among the159 members who made 193

legislative visits during thesession.

Members sent thousandsof email messages and phonecalls to legislators. All thatstopped a lot of bad bills thatwould have eroded our abilityto stand together for wages tosustain our family and betterworkplaces.
