UW Libraries & Press workers with
SEIU Local 925
authorized a 1-day strike after months without a contract. Workers say UW’s low wage offers fail to reflect the soaring cost of living, leaving many struggling while working at one of the country’s top research universities.

5,070 workers were killed on the job in 2024. That’s completely unacceptable. On Workers’ Memorial Day and every day, the labor movement is committed to the fight to make sure every worker stays safe and healthy on the job.
