I don't know about y'all, but President Jones' "State of the University" speech had us feeling like #20. How about you? #UnionsForAll #unionmemes
Sarcastic meme using a medieval bestiary page of 20 numbered sea creatures under the caption "How it feels listening to UW leadership say they value employees," conveying staff feel overlooked rather than genuinely valued.

Sarcastic, frustrated response to being offered "0%" by UW: a woman makes air quotes with a pained, angry expression and the caption reads "How 'am' I?"

Management's final offer to our union included 0% wage increases, no extra PTO, no help for staffing or workload concerns. Our members voted to reject this "offer" and we urge UW to come back to the table to bargain a fair contract.

0% raises for the next two years is beyond disrespectful. Our members voted NO on UW’s last, best, and final offer for a new contract and we are taking action for a fair agreement. Now chant with us… 📣 C-O-L-A 🗣️ U-DUB WORKERS NEED FAIR PAY!

HAPPENING NOW: Union members are showing up loud & strong ahead of President Jones’ address. The University of Washington is only a world-renowned institution because of its employees. Workers across UW's academic and medical systems can barely make ends meet. FAIR CONTRACT NOW! 📣✊💫

SEIU Local 925 @seiu925.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
High costs create a strain on workers and their families, and the University of Washington’s low wages mean that critical academic support, research, and medical facilities can't keep full & safe staffing levels. FAIR CONTRACT NOW! (COLA = Cost of living adjustment)

We know that budgets are tough right now – at the state, at the university, and in our own checking accounts. But the UW is sitting on $2 billion in unrestricted reserves, and a rainy day fund is there to get through times like these. The money is there. UW just needs to invest in us.

SEIU Local 925 @seiu925.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Frontline employees are asked to do more with less, and students and patients are the ones most impacted. The University of Washington’s 0% wage increase proposal for the next two years is beyond insulting. FAIR CONTRACT NOW!
