1. AFT WA Ask – Donation of $1,000 from our local for UI Defense Fund

1. Part-time faculty UI claims appear to be getting denied at higher rates.  Judges appear to be changing their prior interpretation of what constitutes “reasonable assurance.”  This raises a higher standard that is not in keeping with AFT’s understanding of the law.
2. AFT WA (Enrie Morrison) – appealing to ESD and looking at legislative angles.  AFT-WA is also working with legal counsel to work on test cases on establishing that adjunct faculty don’t have reasonable assurance, even if they:

1.  Are “priority hire”
2. Usually receive a stable load of classes
3. They haven’t had a class canceled in some time

3. There is one test case in the works, but it is expensive. Seattle Colleges local has helped with this, but more $$ is needed.  In addition, more $$ can help fund other test cases.
4. Proposed Motion to donate $1,000.00 for UI Defense Fund
