Welcome to our Union! As we transition from winning our vote for recognition to bargaining our first contract – it is vital that we stay united, transparent, and communicative throughout the process.

After receiving bargaining surveys for bargaining team nominations, we’re excited to share our bargaining team members:

Sherry Taylor, SODO Recovery Specialist

Jeff King, Office and Facilities Manager

Anderson Witiak, Community Volunteer & Engagement Coordinator

Sara Jones, Monitoring and Evaluation Manager

If you have any questions about the bargaining process, feel free to reach out to anyone on your bargaining team or our Union Representative Allison Hanley at (206) 436-6586.

As we prepare for bargaining, we’re already seeing some changes that we’ve been demanding. David's email on Saturday represents a HUGE win for us...and we haven't even sat at the bargaining table yet. Our Employer is hiring more positions and splitting up a role to add more capacity to our increasing workload.

While we can remain positive about these changes, let's remember these changes would have NEVER occurred if we had not come together united and unionized. The fact they have made these changes before we even sit down at the bargaining table means they know what they should have done.

Let's continue to support each other, celebrate this win, talk to each other about our needs, and get ready for our first bargaining session.
