TESC Classified 2025-2027 Tentative Agreement Documents

Message from TESC Classified Bargaining Team

Negotiation of the 2025-2027 Tentative Agreement between the Washington Federation of State Employees (WFSE) and the State of Washington covering TESC Classified employees has concluded!

Thanks to your actions in the workplace, the tentative agreement for the 2025-2027 TESC Classified contract achieves several major goals identified as priorities by the membership:

  • Despite incredibly challenging budget projections, our new contract secures a general wage increase of 3% on July 1, 2025, and 2% on July 1, 2026!
  • Our health care premium share remains at 85% / 15%. The FSA benefit increases to $300 and is now available to those making $68,004.00/year or less.
  • The starting wage for Evergreen Classified will be raised to $18.00/hour! This brings increases to many of you! This increase has a domino effect for some, who will receive compression/inversion increases as a result.
  • Numerous classification-specific increases and reallocations will bring increases as well.
  • Bereavement leave and personal leave days are increased!
  • Plus – we have a signing bonus of up to $500.00!
  • Plus, many, many more economic and non-economic improvements! See the full tentative agreement for details.

Because of these achievements, your TESC Classified Bargaining Team recommends that you vote YES to ACCEPT this Agreement!

We want to thank you all for your hard work, research, job actions, and solidarity. Your strength makes all the difference! If you have questions, please visit a Voting Assistance Center (VAC), contact a bargaining team member, or contact your WFSE staff.
