SB5119 allows collective bargaining for student employees at four public universities in Washington.

SB5119 adds a new section to chapter 41.56 RCW, enabling collective bargaining for student employees enrolled in academic or certificate programs at Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, Western Washington University, and The Evergreen State College. This act excludes certain provisions from bargaining, such as employment termination based on academic performance, tuition and fees, the academic calendar, and class size. However, it allows for negotiation on tuition and fee remission and waiver.
