August 22, 2023

A reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday August 23rd, at 5:00pm is the WSU-CASE Monthly Meeting! If you are able to attend, please make sure to register for the meeting.

During our last bargaining session, Admin presented a package of proposals in response to the economic proposals we presented in mid-summer (wages, childcare, housing, health insurance, etc.). Admin finally admitted that their pay rates have fallen far behind when compared to peer institutions, but their current proposal still falls far behind the standard of a living wage for ASEs. We will not allow them to posture as if this is all they can offer. We have a lot of work to do to win what we really deserve. Come deep dive WSU’s Wages proposal with us at this month’s Monthly Meeting (RSVP). At this meeting, we will also discuss how to continue to build power to build towards greater success. 

As this is the first meeting of the semester, we’d love to see new faces! Please share this reminder & the RSVP link with new ASEs in your department and help them get up to speed on what is happening with their employment contract negotiations. 
Hope to see you there!

Is there a different way you’d like to get involved? Send an email to contact@wsucase.org.
