WSU ASEs have overwhelmingly voted to ratify the Tentative Agreement as our first-ever union contract! With 99% voting YES (1,169 YES votes, 15 NO votes, equaling 68% voter turnout), this vote will usher in life-changing improvements to ASE pay, working conditions, & benefits

Yes! This couldn’t have been done without a strong community standing with us. We are so thankful and proud to be part of your labor community ✊

"Within hours of walking out on strike Jan. 17, student workers at Washington State University-Vancouver — and at WSU campuses across the state — reached a tentative agreement for a first contract. If ratified, the agreement would raise wages 39%." nwlaborpress.org/2024/01/wsu…

WSU grad students win agreement just hours into strike

If ratified by workers, the agreement would establish the union's first contract, raise wages 39%, increase paid leave, and waive fees.

Collective action gives us more rights and more power! Congratulations to @WSUCASE for the TA on their 1st contract!
wsucase@wsucase17 Jan 2024
Our strike has come to a resolution - we have a Tentative Agreement (TA)! Our strike power was enough to bring WSU Admin back to the bargaining table with important movement in wages, fees, healthcare and leave. This TA is the result of ASEs’ collective power and solidarity ✊

It was a graduate course in union tactics. Eleven months of negotiating? No deal. Several hours of striking? Deal. Today Washington State University grad students won their first @wsucase union contract just hours into a snow-filled strike. | nwLaborPress buff.ly/4b3S09S

Congratulations, @wsucase! This is an inspiring example of how a strike, even for a just a few hours, can provide the pressure needed to bring management to the table to settle a fair contract. Well done!

We believe that our peers at WSU deserve better. The contracts that we are bargaining are setting groundbreaking standards for Student Employee's working conditions in Washington State! We're prepared to stand on the picket in solidarity with our peers at Mount Vernon tomorrow.
wsucase@wsucase14 Jan 2024
It’s time for WSU Admin to deliver on fair pay, adequate health insurance, a reprieve from misleading fee & increased parental leave. Otherwise, we’ll be on the picket lines on 1/17. Join us forms.gle/bfabe2J8DUY5Nkas6 #CougsOnStrike 🎥 Jasper Wilson

When I was a grad student, a union seemed like a pipe dream. I am so glad so many current grad students have one and are fighting for better working conditions.

My wife is teaching a 300 level history course this semester independently and is making the same salary she did as a TA TWO YEARS AGO. She is making the same as first year graduate students. Tell me how this is fair @WSUPullman? 5 days! @WSU_Cougar_Pres
wsucase@wsucase21 Oct 2023
ASEs are fighting for a fair first contract and our message is clear on what we expect - a liveable wage, fair negotiations on improvements to healthcare benefits, and a more equitable WSU!
