Washington State Ferries – Submit Your Bargaining Priorities

It’s contract time again! We are preparing now to begin negotiations soon. We are eager to start this process with you and to hear what hasn’t been working well or needs to be added/improved. 

NEXT STEPS:

  • Survey membership and elect a bargaining team
  • Union Meeting via Zoom at 12 pm on Friday, May 22

To ensure your voice is heard and your contract reflects your priorities, we need your participation in our pre-bargaining survey. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE SURVEY. 

Please submit your survey as soon as possible but no later than 4 pm on Thursday, May 21. 

We’ll use the survey results to set our bargaining priorities, identify workplace solutions, and develop our initial proposals. Your responses are confidential and will not be shared with management.
