华盛顿州公共部门工会全部完成新合同批准 2027至2029年协议进入预算审查阶段
华盛顿州州长鲍勃·弗格森（BobFerguson）10月20日宣布，参与2027至2029年度新合同投票的公共部门工会已全部批准各自协议，集体谈判阶段就此收官。州财务管理局（OFM）代表州长负责多数州级劳工协议的谈判，相关合同已在10月1日截止日期前通过暂定协议或有约束力的仲裁敲定。
不过，工会批准并不等于资金自动到位：合同成本估算与条款将送交OFM局长审查，只有通过财务可行性评估、并被纳入州长提出的预算案后，拨款申请才会向前推进；州议会握有最终决定权，须对整份申请批准或否决。此轮协议覆盖三十多份集体谈判合同及两份医疗保健协议，各单位条款并不一致。
其中规模最大的州雇员联合会代表约4.2万名员工，其新合同在预算紧缩背景下没有普涨工资，但保住了州政府承担85%医保保费的安排，并约定明年8月再协商合同第二年的加薪可能。
All Washington Public-Sector Unions Ratify 2027-29 Contracts; $589 Million General Fund Cost Heads to Legislature
Governor Bob Ferguson announced on October 20 that every voting union has ratified Washington's 2027-29 labor agreements, covering more than 30 collective bargaining contracts. Deals not settled by the Office of Financial Management's October 1 deadline were resolved through tentative agreements or binding arbitration.
The state research council pegs the general fund cost at about $589 million. The contracts contain no across-the-board wage increase, and the 85/15 health care cost split is maintained.
Under state law the legislature holds the final say on funding the contracts — it may approve or reject them as a whole in the budget.
