We are Local 1671 of the WFSE/AFSCME Council 28. We are the labor union of interpreters providing services for the State of Washington. Our union movement began in the fall of 2009 in response to medical and social service spoken language interpreters' frustration with the 'broker system' delivery model, unfair treatment and substandard pay.
Interpreters United Local 1671 stewards are specially trained INTERPRETERS WHO VOLUNTEER to help other interpreters sort through their problems. Union stewards are the front line of defense representing interpreters who feel their union contract rights are being infringed upon. WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 provides a two-day training for people interested in becoming union stewards.
