Public School Employees of Washington (PSE) is a labor union dedicated exclusively to representing classified educational support professionals in Washington State’s public education system. Over 26,000 of our members play a vital role in the operation of preschool, K-12 and universities throughout the state.
No other labor organization in Washington represents educational support professionals with the power and might of PSE. We are constantly working on the front lines to improve the quality of our public education system and to gain better recognition for those women and men who often work behind the scenes to help our students succeed.
In 2005, PSE affiliated with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to gain more strength by working with other classified school employees and union members in the state and nationally. We became SEIU Local 1948 and combined with other SEIU locals, we comprise the largest labor organization in the history of our state. To learn more about SEIU,
