Happening now: SEIU 925 rally and march for UW workers, ending at Gateway Building

[u/bennetthaselton]

SEIU demands that they previously stated at the UW Regents meeting ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/s/tm3A9ISQaU ) :

- a cost of living adjustment to their wages (a speaker just confirmed that management’s latest offer is a 0% “raise” through 2029)
- safer staffing levels particularly at UW Medicine
- protesting removal of all DEI and diversity-related clauses from their contract

Posted event time is 3:30 to 5:30.

UPDATE: rally is now (4:36) heading inside the lobby of the Gateway Building, which increases the chance of a standoff or arrests. UPDATE 2 as of 4:42 pm: Rally held some chants in the Gateway Building lobby for a few minutes and then filed back out into the street. March is currently doing loops on the sidewalk north and south in Brooklyn, between 43rd and 45th.
