UAW Members at the University of Washington Begin Strike
Academic Student Employees (ASEs) UAW 1421 union members at the University of Washington (UW) have launched a strike to demand higher wages, better healthcare benefits, and greater job security. Beginning at 6 am on May 14, 2024, the strike highlights growing tensions between university workers and the administration.
While the strike aims to pressure the administration into addressing these concerns, it is important to remember that participation is a personal choice. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to make informed decisions about their involvement, understanding that no one can be compelled to participate.
