Hello members, Below you will find information regarding changes coming to the NRB (Olympia) Campu8s parking for both state-owned and personal vehicles. This is an FYI as some of you may have already received this information. WAFWP worked until the last day to try to find real solutions to the NRB parking issues.

VOTE - PROPOSED WAFWP BY-LAW Changes

Hello members! Our By-Laws subcommittee, led by our amazing Treasurer Liz, worked hard to update the 2021 WAFWP By-Laws. These changes, with guidance from our attorney Rhonda, needed to reflect the legal duties of the union (think short and sweet). We are also working on an Executive Board Manual to dive more into the weeds on roles of each of the Executive Board members.

Layoffs

Hello members, Despite knowing the budget was projected to be poor for this biennium (and the next biennium), we had hoped there would not be any layoffs associated with the state budget. However, that is not the case and layoffs will be rolling out soon.
