WPEA and WFSE members rally at Bellevue College

Bellevue College employees show support for movement at the bargaining table

Today, classified employees and faculty at Bellevue College rallied for a lunchtime walkout with WFSE. Approximately 30 people participated, including members of both WPEA and WFSE Unions and BCAHE faculty. We also had support from construction workers on campus and King County METRO bus drivers passing the rally.

Today is about the workers of Washington who keep the lifeblood of the work going. The better the state of public employees, the better the state of the community.

The final scheduled higher education bargaining session is September 9. Members can join WPEA Discord and observe bargaining firsthand as we make one final push for better wages or meaningful improvements to working conditions. Join here: https://wpea.org/discord/

Bellevue College Classified staff are welcome at a drop-in lunchtime social on Thursday, Sept 3 from noon to 1:30 in room T205. Do you feel like you matter to the college? Let’s talk!

About 20 BC faculty joined 10 staff to demand a fair contract for classified WFSE and WPEA staff.
