UniServ? What's a UniServ?

The National Education Association UniServ (United Service) Program was started in 1970 to provide assistance to local associations to help with collective bargaining, defense of member rights, political action, and other matters.  Washington Education Association is composed of 21 UniServ Councils statewide, including our own Rainier UniServ Council.

Rainier has two large certificated locals, three classified units, and two higher education locals. More information about these groups is located under the Association Information heading, using the drop-down menu.

Where are we?

The Rainier UniServ Council is located near Southcenter Mall, on Andover Park West. The Council represents a diverse group of members, including two large K-12 locals, an ESD classified unit, faculty at two community colleges, a school district classified unit, and a prof-tech unit.  We have a membership of close to 3,000, which is supported by two UniServ representatives and two associate staff.

Our Mission:

"Providing coordinated services and resources to protect, enhance and empower member interests."

Our Vision:

"Leadership will aggressively pursue and communicate the interests of members in professional development, bargaining, political action and community organizing.  The link to WEA will be strengthened in order to provide the best services to members."
