500 more public employees are now members of the Washington Federation of State Employees. We need every public employee fighting with us to enforce our rights at our worksites, to defend our work in the legislature, and to win a fair union contract when we enter negotiations a year from now.

The solution to @seattlecolleges.bsky.social money woes is not laying of the folks who work directly with students and keep the lights on and toilets working. 💸Stop piling onto executive leadership salaries and blowing hot air about diversity, inclusion and equity: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

🌈 HUGE shout out to WFSE's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee, who sponsored WFSE's appearance in the Spokane Pride Parade! 💚 Without our EDI Committee, we wouldn't have had the amazing participation we did. Thank you to these dedicated folks for all the amazing work they put in every day 💚

🤯 Administration at @seattlecolleges.bsky.social want to lay off the staff who have daily contact with students, working on campus to keep every location running. ❓ Presumably, they won't be reducing the salary of the chancellor or the other 7 cabinet members, who together receive $8.5 million.

WFSE stands in solidarity with all communities under attack and understands that the time for unity is now. We stand united with all workers, particularly the most vulnerable among us. Solidarity is key to beating back the attacks on immigrants, workers, and unions.

💚 WFSE members at Harborview Medical Center BROKE legislators’ phones yesterday. 💪 They demanded NO cuts or furloughs to the only Level 1 trauma center in Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho—and a key resource for Seattle’s most vulnerable patients. #washingtonforall

Senate Democrats want to close FIVE DOC reentry centers, including Tri-Cities. House Democrats want to close two. Here's the thing: We need all the capacity we can get. Reentry centers save our state money AND reduce recidivism. Knee-jerk closures for immediate budget relief will cost us.

🏰 We love some doom scrolling. But we can take that energy to fight back against the billionaires trying to take our power! 👀 Don't forget--we're stronger together. As a WFSE member, you have over 52,000 people here to back you up and help fight for a better future. #WashingtonForAll

A meme where a person in a blue shirt stands at a fork in the road. There are two options. On the left, a gleaming castle with a blue sky behind it is captioned "fight for a better future with fellow workers." On the right, a dark castle with thunderstorm-filled skies says "doomscroll until you feel helpless and depressed."

Most everyone agrees that every single DOC reentry center in Washington is needed. Yet both the House, the Senate and Governor Bob Ferguson have proposed closing them. Let's make the rich start paying taxes before we skimp on public safety, @governorferguson.bsky.social. #washingtonforall

WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 @wfse.org · 26/03/2025

Calling up @governorferguson.bsky.social and legislators asking them to please start taxing billionaires rather than closing facilities like Rainier School which keep developmentally disabled adults alive. We're demanding a #WashingtonForAll, not just the rich. Time to get on board, #Waleg!

WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 @wfse.org · 24/03/2025

🤡 Our state needs the public services our members provide more than ever, but our elected officials think it's better to make sure billionaires get their fifth yacht... 🗣️ We need to tell our governor and legislators they CAN'T throw Washingtonians under the bus to appease billionaire donors.

#WaLeg needs to follow the lead of voters and create a #WashingtonforAll, not just the rich. They don't want the services they depend on sacrificed in order to maintain the second-most unfair tax system in the country. No furloughs, no short-sighted facility closures. Fix our tax code!

Shout out to our DOC members who wouldn't take no for an answer when the Dept of Corrections unfairly excluded them from assignment pay. Nine members took their case from grievance to arbitration and won tens of thousands of dollars in back pay. That's the #UnionDifference.

Closures like this have been studied (Ruckelshaus workgroup), and it really is a matter of life and death for some of the folks currently under our care.

WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 @wfse.org · 12/02/2025

Yesterday, we were joined by families of residents who are devastated by the possibility of closures and are worried about what it would mean for their loved ones currently receiving world-class care.

WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 @wfse.org · 12/02/2025

And we know the folks who call these facilities home for decades because nowhere else will accept them or have the services to help them.

WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 @wfse.org · 12/02/2025

Our members at these facilities and Fircrest School care for residents around the clock. We see the success stories of residents who learn how to live independently because of they receive wraparound care they just can't get anywhere else.

WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 @wfse.org · 12/02/2025

If #WaLeg wants to close down Rainier School and Yakima Valley School, two of the last remaining facilities providing 24/7 care for individuals with profound developmental disabilities, they've got a fight on their hands ✊✊
