Read MoreAfter months of bargaining and voting down the company's last offer along with a 97% strike authorization, our rock-solid unity has given our committee the strength we needed to get a recommended agreement!

Read MoreThe company has changed their Last and Final offer that we voted down by 97%! Our bargaining team has reviewed the company's latest offer which has moved significantly toward our last proposal. We are close, but not close enough to fully recommend a contract for approval.
The company MUST understand we will not move backwards during the term of this contract. Please continue to support the union bargaining team, as we continue the fight!
Bargaining Team: Tiffanie Ibach, Jessica Flatt, Jeannie Payton
Our union bargaining team has reached a tentative agreement and recommends a ‘Yes’ Vote to accept the Sequim School District’s proposal.
Read MoreAfter months of negotiations, it is time to vote on Zenith's final offer to us. Our coworker-led bargaining team is recommending a 'NO' vote on the employer offer and a 'YES' vote for an unfair labor practice strike authorization.
We believe the company has committed unfair labor practices, and the company’s last final offer doesn’t come close to being market competitive, and the additional healthcare costs mean more money out of our hard-earned wages. The work we do for this company must be respected. It is apparent from the company's latest offer that our work is not valued.
