TCC SSSU ratifies contract

TCC SSSU ratifies contract

Members in the Student Support Services Unit (SSSU) at Tacoma Community College (TCC) yesterday (Dec. 14) unanimously ratified their new (2017-2019) contract.

This unit bargains under a different law than most other AFSCME Council 28 (WFSE) Higher Education and General Government members so has a different timetable.

The new TCC SSSU contract is highlighted with the same 6 percent across-the-board raises over three years as the other AFSCME Council 28 (WFSE) General Government and Higher Education contracts that took effect this past July 1 and that were negotiated under the 15-year-old collective bargaining law.

The TCC SSSU members view their just-ratified contract as a foundation for the next contract. The bargaining unit members will begin working on proposals and concepts for the next round of bargaining.
