All the unions that reached a tentative agreement with OFM voted to ratify those contracts. The unions voting to approve new contracts are: Washington Federation of State Employees – General Government (WFSE-GG) Association of Washington Assistant Attorneys General (WFSE AWAAG) Administrative Law Judges (WFSE ALJ) Coalition of Unions (Coalition) Professional and Technical Employees Local 17
