AWAAG 2025-2027 Tentative Agreement Documents

Message from AWAAG Bargaining Team

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

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

  • Despite incredibly challenging budget projections, the contract secures general wage increases of 3% in 2025 and 2% in 2026.
  • The contract aligns annual increases for all to July 1 – no more waiting for your increase!
  • Creates assignment pay for those utilizing dual language skills!
  • Retains the 5-year, 5% retention premium and expands to include a 10-year, 7.5% premium!
  • Brings bereavement leave into the CBA and increases that leave to five days.
  • Plus, many more economic and non-economic improvements! See the full tentative agreement for details.

Because of these achievements, your AWAAG 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.
