Washington state worker union approves contract without pay raise
Original: WA state worker union OKs new contract with no pay hike
A union representing Washington state employees has ratified a new contract that does not include a general pay increase. The agreement comes as the state faces budget pressure, and workers will keep existing benefits and terms of employment. The deal now moves forward for funding approval, and the lack of a wage boost is drawing attention among public employees.
Why now: Public-sector workers and observers are reacting to the unusual decision to accept a contract with no raise amid budget constraints.
