2024-2027 contract ratified by WOUFT members!

WOUFT members have now voted on the 2024-2027 WOUFT CBA.

We had a great turnout with 69% of the membership voting. The results of the ratification vote are: 92 votes for ratifying the contract and 14 votes against.  Ratification wins with 86.79% of the vote.  

WOUFT members and other members of the WOU community can see more information about the ratification vote here (WOU login required).

The 2024-2027 CBA will now go to the WOU administrative bargaining team and officers for signing, and at that time will formally replace the 2020-2023 CBA and its extension agreement. You can view the new CBA on our Contract Bargaining Agreements page, along with a summary of major changes from the previous CBA and previous CBAs.
