No workforce in the state of Washington has more at stake in decisions made by the Legislature than state employees.
The Legislature has control over our wages, benefits, and pensions. They adopt a state budget that determines the funding level for the services we provide. They consider countless bills every year that can have an impact on everything from our working conditions to our job security.
As individuals we are powerless, but through our union we have a voice.
State employees have the most vibrant member lobbying program in the state. Why? Because we have a strong union in WFSE. Every year hundreds of WFSE members travel to Olympia and speak directly with their representatives. State employees know first-hand about the needs and importance of the services we provide. We are strong advocates for the services we provide. By meeting directly with lawmakers, we make a real difference.
Public employees have a right to lobby their legislators on their personal time and equipment. Contact your legislators from anywhere using the action links below. Know Your Rights to Lobby (PDF download)
