Message from the L&I LAP Bargaining Team
Negotiations concluded on September 24th over the unionization of L&I interpreters! This resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), also referred to as an “Interim Agreement.” The AFSCME Council 28/WFSE L&I LAP MOU for the 2023-2025 contract period achieves several important wins:
Union recognition and rights;
Increases the L&I rates by 5% November 1, 2024;
IPI: $61.80 will increase to $64.89/hour
VRI: $0.82 will increase to $0.86/minute
OPI: $0.67 will increase to $0.70/minute
Creation of an L&I Union Management Committee;
A process for L&I to notify us of changes to mandatory subjects and negotiations related to those changes;
A process for feedback related to the coordinating entity;
Creation of a workgroup to address the issue of non-payment.
A summary of the MOU and a copy of the MOU are available in the documents section above. After you have reviewed the information on the new Agreement, we believe you will agree that we made progress in negotiations and will exercise your right to vote and ratify the Agreement.
Your L&I LAP Bargaining Team recommends you VOTE YES TO ACCEPT this Agreement!
