Dear Colleague,
If you are new to state government or the public service sector, congratulat
on your new job. If youre considering joining or if youre getting reacquai
with your union, welcome to the Washington Federation of State Employee
AFSCME Council 28, the most powerful and democratic union in Washing
State.
We represent state employees who work in General Government, Higher Educati
and public service groups like Independent Provider Interpreters, American
Behavioral Health Systems and American Friends Service Committee.
As you learn more about the union, I am certain you will have numerous questi
This booklet will provide some initial information to get you started.
Our contracts contain important information about basic working condition
workers rights and responsibilities. Your employer will provide you with acopy; keep it handy. You can also download one from our website at
http://www.wfse.org/contracts/.
Together we all make up the union. We elect representatives to policy commi
to represent worker issues and we elect member representatives to negotiat
contracts, that may include wages, cost-of-living-adjustments (COLA), step
creases, health care coverage, pension coverage, vacation time, holiday opt
and more.
In addition, we advocate for safe and respectful work environments.
To join and become a member, complete the enclosed membership card. Th
is a big difference between choosing to be a full member and the non-mem
fee payer. If you support fair wages and strong benets, we encourage you
become a full member. Being a member entitles you to voting rights during
union elections, the right to participate in union activities, surveys, function
to members-only union benets.
WFSE/AFSCME members wrote the Vision, Mission and Core Values state
ment on the opposite page. Everything we do and all actions we take are di
related to them. Together we make a difference.
We are the union and together we strengthen our voice.
I am honored to serve you as your president. I hope this booklet helps you byour journey as a member of WFSE/AFSCME.
Sincerely,

We are WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 AFL-CIO
By joining together, working people gain strength in numbers and create avoice at work and in our communities about matters we care about.
Working together, we can negotiate a contract with our employer that may
nclude better pay, protect our health insurance, and create a fair and safe
workplace with worker-friendly policies like schedule exibility, commute
trip reduction and leave to care for family members.
No matter what type of job workers are in, strong unions
allow workers to speak out for fairness for all working
people in their communities and create better standardsand a strong middle class across the country.
AFSCME, the AFL-CIO and all unions envision a future in which work
and all people who work are valued, respected and rewarded.
We achieve that rst through traditional representation and bargaining for
strong contracts but then we go beyond that by participating in lobbying
and working in coalition with other organizations to achieve the same
goal:
Building a strong Middle Class community.
We accomplish this by building a broad coalition to advance a worker-
friendly political and economic agenda.

WASHINGTON FEDERATION OF STATE EMPLOYEES (WFSE) www.wfse.org
This is a movement that matters
to our states economy
INCOME
INEQUALITY
When you join this union, youbecome part of the solution we hope
closes the gap between the rich and
the middle class in the United States
and in our communities here in
Washington.
Simply, the state of Washington is
this states largest employer. So if
state employees and public service
sector employees cant make a liv-
ng wage, they cant buy the goodsand services that drive the economy.
Washingtons economy then suffers
because this large pool of workers
snt earning enough to keep our
economy strong.
The real job creators are not CEOs
or corporations or wealthy inves-
tors, former U.S. Labor Secretary
Robert Reich says (robertreich.org).
The job creators are members of
Americas vast middle class and the
poor, whose purchases cause busi-
nesses to expand and invest.
Income inequality affects us all.
There are many reasons for this
alarming gap between the vast
Middle Class and the few very rich.
The chart (right) shows that after
World War II, the economy boomedbecause 90% of Americas wage
earners those on the lower end of
the pay scale beneted the most
from income growth. But during
recent economic expansions, its
been the very few at the very top
who have captured all the income
growth. Thats a recipe for economiccatastrophe.
The men and women of our union,
the Washington Federation of State
Employees, have done much to re-
duce income inequality. Thirty years
ago, the unions pioneering com-
parable worth settlement addressed
gender-based wage disparities. More
recently, Medical Interpreters negoti-
ated a rst-ever contract that boostedpay but also saved the state millions
of taxpayer dollars. Many contracts
negotiated in 2014 (effective July 1,
2015) help those earning less than
$15 an hour. The Community lege Coalition even won rst-
salary increases for part-time
workers.
Income inequality is a nationa
that we can help solve here w
strong contracts and a commit
to workplace rights.
This is a union committed to r
ing income inequality. You ca
because your voice matters.
When you join WFSE/AFSCM
your voice joins with other me
engaged in this effort.

REPRESENTATION
A U.S. Supreme Court decision
called Weingarten extends tounionized workers federal rights
to union representation during a
management investigation.
The Washington Public Employment Rela-
tions Commission (PERC) is charged with
determining bargaining units* in state
government and public service positions.
The National Labor Relations Board(NLRB) denes private sector bargaining
units.
If youre not sure if your position is part of
a bargaining unit, contact us at 800-562-
6002 or via email: contactus@wfse.org.
*Bargaining Unit: A bargaining unit in
labor relations is a group of employees with
a clear and identiable community of inter-
ests who are represented by a single labor
union in collective bargaining and other
dealings with management.
Weingarten Rights
If you are called into a meeting with a management representative
and you have reason to believe that disciplinary action against you
may result, you have the right to have a union representative prese
during this meeting. Read the statement below to the management
representative, and contact your steward immediately:
If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined
terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I request t
my union representative, ofcer, or steward be present at the mee
ing. Without representation, I choose not to answer any question
The following guidelines apply:
The employee must make a clear request for union representa
before or during the interview.
The employer must grant the request and delay questioning un
the union representative arrives and has a chance to consult pr
vately with the employee; deny the request and end the intervi
immediately; or give the employee a choice of having the inter
view without representation or ending the interview.
If the employer denies the request for union representation andcontinues to ask questions, it commits an unfair labor practice
and the employee has the right to refuse to answer. The emplo
may not discipline the employee for such a refusal.
Weingarten Rights do not apply to coaching meetings, giving instru
tions or handing out discipline. Check with your shop steward or sta
representative if you need more information.
Union representation protects your rights
When you accept a paycheck
for your hard work, you dont
give up your rights.

Building a strong unionAs Washingtons most powerful advocate for public service employees, working families, and strong co
munities, WFSE/AFSCME members speak with a proud and strong collective voice.
Union membership is key to building pride and strength.
Members make important decisions, from setting priorities for contract negotiations and endorsing
legislative candidates to planning job actions and changing the way the union itself is organized.
Thats why union membership is the most critical frst stepyou can take.
Union membership is personally empowering and gives you the opportunity to take part in the
democratic decision-making that steers our union.
Union memberships connects you to the historical and growingmove-
ment of working people standing up for their right to negotiate for fair
wages and working conditions.
In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. died while defending AFSCME sanitation workers in
Memphis who were ghting for their dignity and the right to collectively bargain.

Union membership mattersWhen you sign a union membership card, you become a member of the largest union for state, higher
education and public service employees in the state of Washington!
We are 40,000 members strong and together we have a powerful voice to stand up for workers righand to protect jobs, pay, benets, working conditions and public services.
Union membership helps us build a strong and united voice for public
service and the services we provide.Joining is easy. Complete and sign a membership card and return it to a shop steward or HR represen
tive at your workplace or simply fold, seal and drop in the mail.
Participation leads to concrete gains.Union membershipgives you the right to participate in decisions
that impact you at your job. Union membership gives you a voice
and the opportunity to participatein the democratic governance
of the union. Union membership gives you access to members-only
benets.
Recently, member bargaining teams negotiated wage increases of at
least 4.8% for the 2015-17 contract and maintained health care
premiums and co-pays at affordable levels for all our members
despite an effort to raise out-of-pocket costs. Member participation
at worksite solidarity-events and via social media amplied our
position and empowered our negotiators. Together we stand strong.
Unity is a strong defense.Are you concerned about what has happened to state and public employees over the past few years?
Coordinated attacks on unions and workers rights across the country could soon impact us right here
Washington. We are at a crossroads. Either we unite and use our voice - and rights - like never before
strengthen our union or we may lose all weve gained:
Living wages
Basic union rights
Affordable health care
Real pensions
Bottom line: Union membership matters.We cannot take our rights and benets for granted any longer. The most important way you can help
grow this movement of working people is by becoming a union member today.

Collective Bargaining
Collective bargaining is the American wayCollective bargaining is the process
we use to negotiate contracts that
determine terms of employment
such as pay, benets, hours, leave,
job health and safety policies, ways
to balance work and family and
more. Collective bargaining is one
way we solve workplace problems.
The frst step in negotiating our
contracts - also called collective
bargaining agreements (CBAs) -
is identifying the rules that apply.
State Employees (RCW 41.80)Most state employees negotiate
under the Personnel System Reform
Act (PSRA) of 2002. Our rst con-
tract went into effect on 7/1/05.
Members in General Government
and the Community College Coali-
tion negotiate with the governors
Labor Relations Section (LRS) of
OFM. Members in our four-year
Higher Education institutions bargainwith their respective administrations.Refer to RCW 41.80 (State Collective Bargaining)
Public Employees (RCW 41.56)
Some WFSE/AFSCME members
bargain under the Public Employees
Collective Bargaining Act (PECBA).
This includes our Renton Technical
College, Independent Provider Inter-
preters and Higher Education exempt
employee members.
Public employee teams may bar-
gain with LRS or directly with their
employer. Refer RCW 41.56 (Public Employ-ees Collective Bargaining)
Private Sector Public Service Em-
ployees (NLRA)
WFSE/AFSCME also represents
members from the private sec-
tor who perform public services.
These members fall under the fed-
eral National Labor Relations Act
(NLRA). This includes American
Friends Service Committee (AFSC)
and American Behavioral Health
Systems (ABHS), and Kitsap Ten-ant Support Services (KTSS).Refer to NLRA Collective Bargaining (Section 8(d)
& 8(b)(3).
Negotiations
During negotiations, the inpu
support of members is key toning strong contracts.
Bargaining teams for each co
are elected from and by unio
bers covered by that contract
staff assist as negotiators.
Members consider proposed
es to the contract as well as w
articles theyd like to preserv

jobs based on which political party they belongto? Thats right. But in 1960 WFSE/AFSCME
members mounted a campaign to ask voters to
ate a CIVIL SERVICEsystem where employeehired based on whatthey know, not whothey k
Before collective bargaining, state employees had
to beg politicians for pay raises. This system ofbegging not bargaining ended in 2002 with the
passage of the WFSE/AFSCME-initiated full-scope
COLLECTIVE BARGAININGlaw that allows stateemployees to negotiate pay and benets.
Nearly 40,000 WFSE represented workers are now
covered by strong contract protections.
Did you know that long before the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 and the Memphis Strike, WFSE/AFSCMEalready had a CIVIL RIGHTScommittee. Today,were on the front lines against discrimination, work-
place bullying and pay inequity.
Prior to 1985, employees who worked in job cla
historically made up of women were paid 59% owhat male-dominated classes did. That ended in
when after years of pursuing court action, WFSE
AFSCME and the State of Washington reached
settlement in the pioneering COMPARABLE Wlawsuit that brought a half-billion dollars to rem
gender-based wage inequity.
