Anneliese Simons
Psychiatric social worker 3
Western State Hospital, Local 793
Washington-Tacoma.
But she and co-workers
stepped up with a solution,
using the voice they have,
coming together as a union.
They initiated a grassroots, member-driven effort
to raise awareness, support
and action. They gathered
more than 400 letters at Eastern, Western and from other
WFSE/AFSCME members
making the governor and
state budget office aware of
the crisis.
They got attention.
On Dec. 1 psychiatric social worker 3s and psychologist 4s began receiving 15
percent assignment pay.
These Local 793 members at Western State Hospital took part with members at some 190 worksites on the Dec. 3 Day
of Action to make sure the supplemental budget for 2016-17 funds vital services and protects public employees.

public their stories -- because the public may distrust the government, but what
they want from the government is what you do every day, WFSE/AFSCME Legislative and Political Action Director Dennis Eagle told the member lobbyists.
You guys are our secret weapon, Eagle said.
On this page are some the goals and stories of just 10 of those member lobbyists. One message is clear: Public Services Matter and are worth speaking up
for.
Im asking support from the public and others to support us in helping us keep full-time employees who
work in government service. Because they provide
valuable services that are needed by the public.
Abdullatif Qaasim, a customer services specialist
with the Department of Licensing in Olympia (Local
443), whose greatest joy is helping callers who just
dont know their way around the system. Having a
professional there who is trained and motivated and
really enjoys what theyre doing helps stakeholders
get the answers they need.
We are very important to make sure that the insurance companies are there, theyre solvent and
theyre doing what theyre supposed to do....Its really
good for the people of the state of Washington to
know that real professionals are supporting them.
Yasen Angelov, a financial analyst with the Office of
the Insurance Commissioner in Olympia (Local 443).

UNION NEWS
Bipartisan opposition builds to
Supreme Court case aimed at us
Three prominent Republican Washington state
senators, including the No. 2
presiding officer in the Senate
and the former chair of the
state Republican party, have
sided with public workers
against a case pending before
the U.S. Supreme Court that
would make it even harder
for public workers like us to
come together, speak up and
get ahead.
And, they say, the case
violates conservative principles separating federal and
state responsibilities for good
government and labor relations.
Signing one of dozens
friend-of-the court amicus
briefs in the so-called Friedrichs case were:
Sen. Pam Roach of
the 31st Legislative District,
president pro-tem of the Senate and chair of the Senate
Government Operations and

Those surcharges are a charge
or fee that is not related to the cost
of providing health care benefits, but
rather is based on behavior (tobacco)
or status (availability of comparable
insurance for spouse/partner),
the arbitrator said. The states
adoption of the surcharges was not
contrary to the parties agreement
that employees would only have to
pay 15 percent of the total weighted
average of the projected health care
premium.

after recent media reports about high assault rates at Western State Hospital,
Henricksen said.
She said similar patterns exist at other DSHS institutions, juvenile parole
and community facilities and Veterans Affairs homes.
HB 1718 would bring these high-risk positions into line with current
pension policy that recognizes the high-risk jobs of police, firefighters, park
rangers, Community Corrections officers and other Department of Corrections personnel, county juvenile detention workers and others.
SHB 1718 passed the House 95-3 in 2015 but did not get a hearing in the
Senate. It remains alive in the 2016 legislative session that starts Jan. 11.
