AFT’s Bridge to the Future campaign
Karen Strictland, AFT Washington President, visited our Executive Council on December 7, 2022, to report on this year’s legislative campaign. Here is a summary of AFT Washington's legislative request:
-
Approximate 2023 COLA of 7.8%. A COLA increase is already written into legislation and should be automatic.
-
6.5% faculty salary increase each year of the biennium (a total of 13%).
-
PT faculty pay equity 85% of the comparable FT faculty salary.
What we can do to support this agenda
Sign this petition. AFT hopes to have 1,000 signatures by early January to show strong support for these requests.
