Thanks for your comment–I realize the wording is a bit tricky so I will clear it up here.

SEIU 775, which represents home-health workers across the state, has sued Governor Gregoire over her new budget proposal, which did not include $26+ million in raises, benefits and training costs.

However, the Washington Federation of State Employees, a union representing higher-education employees and state workers, filed suit last week over their contract, which will likely go unpaid. This union is not a teachers union in the sense that the WEA is, but represents educators in our state at more than a dozen institutions of higher ed.

I made an edit to the post for clarity.

Thanks for reading!
