[Histmaj] Message for History Students recording possible strike tomorrow

[Tracy L Maschman Morrissey via Histmaj]

Dear History Students,

As you may know, the union representing our Academic Student Employees has been negotiating their employment contract with the University of Washington. (If you have a course with a TA, the TA is an academic student employee and is part of the ASE contract.) While the University continues to negotiate in good faith and hopes that both parties can reach an agreement very soon, the union has informed us of a potential strike starting Tuesday, May 14. We are committed to the continuity of academic instruction to the greatest extent possible.

In the event that the leader of your class/lab/section is not in attendance, please make sure that all your assignments have been saved, including those submitted via Canvas, to your computer or cloud storage space. If you arrive at a discussion section, lab, or office hour and your TA is not present—or if your online course is inactive or inaccessible—please notify your instructor. If you are unable to connect with your instructor or if your instructor does not respond in a timely manner, please contact Tracy Maschman Morrissey, Director of Academic Services, Department of History, at tmasch at uw.edu<mailto:tmasch at uw.edu> or 206 221 5013.

For more information about the negotiation process, please visit the UW Labor Relations updates webpage<https://hr.uw.edu/labor/academic-and-student-unions/uaw-ase/ase-negotiation-updates>.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Glennys
