We are organizing our union at
Sound Transit!
Did you know that Security Operations Center Superintendents, Field Activity Specialists, and Public Information Coordinators are already unionized at Sound Transit?
Sound Transit employees are coming together to have our voices heard! Some people may not care about the recent Return-To-Office mandate, and others care deeply about it. In either case, we want to have a voice in all decisions that affect our careers, and our lives. Having the ability to negotiate over our working conditions will greatly benefit all of us, and allow us to keep the things we care about.
Losing the flexibility in our work will negatively impact our lives in multiple ways: time with our children, hours of commuting time away from our families, and our mental and physical well-being.
Without a union, Sound Transit is able to make unilateral, arbitrary decisions and take back promises made to us when we were hired. It is time we have a say in how we work!
Why Organize Now?
Equitable Pay
Sound Transit workers deserve equitable pay and wage scales that reflect our service to the organization.
Just Cause
Sound Transit workers deserve protection from arbitrary decision-making and the right to representation.
Flexibility
Sound Transit workers deserve schedules that makes sense, and the flexibility to live and work in this area.
As Sound Transit continues to grow, expanding the light rail to Snohomish County and beyond, Sound Transit employees deserve to grow and thrive along with it.
Without a union, we are forced to accept arbitrary changes to our working conditions without having a say with little or no transparency. Now is the time to stand together and advocate for ourselves. Will you join us and take action to secure better pay, benefits, and working conditions?
What does the future of work look like to you?
King County and Sound Transit have announced Return to Office policies. Whatever your current work situation is, we need your input on the impacts of commuting time, dependent care costs, health and environmental impacts, and other factors related to in-office work that affect the quality of life of Sound Transit workers.
Attend an event!
Join us online or in person!
Whichever modality you prefer, we have regular sessions available for Sound Transit colleagues and union organizers to connect, answer questions, and share concerns.
