NEW! Save the date! The first day of bargaining for the new Highline Contract is May 14th!

Highline College

Big Win! The Highline WPEA contract is staying LOCAL!

To keep the momentum going, we need a Bargaining Team ready by April 1st. We’llbe using a new “Interest-Based Bargaining” model this year—check out this video to see what it’s about. This is the same model that Highline faculty union (HCEA) uses.
