After marathon speaking yesterday, today I feel so free and also like I could sleep for a week. 😴 #ELUNA2023

We did it. It’s still sinking in. Holy crap we have a contract! This is just the beginning folks. 💪💥🥳🥹 #UnionsForAll #unshushable

We ratified our first contract!! We couldn't have gotten here without our supporters, members, Bargaining team, Contract Action team, and @SEIU925 staff THANK YOU ALL! 🎉 #StrongerTogether #UnionsForAll #Unshushable

Talk about a WEDNESDAY WIN! We anticipated being on strike today, but through our union power we found ourselves celebrating a tentative agreement instead.

CONGRATULATIONS to all the librarians & professional staff at the UW Libraries and the UW Press!

[Anne Pepitone @AnnePepitone]

Tick tock @UW you have until 9am. #UWlibrarySTRIKE

[UW Libraries Union @UWLibUnion]

@UW needs to wake up and realize the impact the UW Libraries and Press staff have on the university. Get it together or we SHUT IT DOWN! #UWlibrarySTRIKE #UnionsForAll #RespectProtectPayUs @SEIU925

[Anne Pepitone @AnnePepitone]

[SEIU Local 925 @SEIU925]

#UWLibraryStrike Update: the @UWLibUnion bargaining team is still hard at work on contract negotiations with @UW. Send them some #solidarity 💜as they burn the midnight oil fighting for a fair first contract!

[SEIU Local 925 @SEIU925]

The team is still hard at work, though, bargaining with @UW and trying to avoid a strike if an agreement can be reached before 9am!

[Anne Pepitone @AnnePepitone]

@SEIU925 @UWLibUnion @UW Go bargaining team go! You’ve got this!! 💪💜
