General Government Contract Ratified

The re-negotiated General Government contract covering 30,000 Federation-represented state employees has been ratified, 3,884-369. There were 19 invalid ballots.

The vote count wrapped up today (June 17) at Federation headquarters in Olympia.

Mail ballots from the remaining Higher Education Coalition campuses will be counted next, followed by Washington State University. Two coalition campuses have already held onsite voting. The latest: Everett Community College, where members ratified the contract 70-0 on June 16. Western Washington University ratified 111-14 on June 10.

To recap, EWU BU I (92-18), EWU BU II (10-0), and UW Police Management (6-1) all ratified earlier.

The University of Washington contract is still in mediation.
