The University of Washington is offering release time and even interpreters for members who go to the UW’s Employee Assistance Service to deal with the tragic death last week of co-worker Insoo Chun.
Chun, a custodian and Local 1488 member, died Oct. 30 after apparently dousing himself with gasoline and setting himself on fire in Red Square. His name was released to the media.
Local 1488 members are stunned and saddened by his death. The UW is encouraging members trying to deal with the tragedy to visit Employee Advisory Services. The UW will provide release time. Members who need an interpreter can get one.
