Funding Contracts and Securing the Future of Labor
With a budget shortfall on the horizon, some voices in the media are openly questioning whether the legislature should provide funding for the raises we just negotiated.
We're fighting for the future of labor this legislative session, and we need your voice! Share your stories with lawmakers in Olympia to remind them who their decisions impact.
No other workforce has more at stake in decisions made by elected officials. The legislature affects our pay, benefits, and working conditions. Our members need to lobby legislators to fund our 2025-2027 collective bargaining agreements and pass pro-labor, pro-worker legislation.
Why Lobby Days Matter
Our direct action with legislators makes a difference. When lawmakers talk to us, they get a glimpse of the direct impact they have on Washington workers. We show them that everything from budget cuts to lowering staffing levels has real impacts on real people.
If you're the kind of person who wants to make changes in Washington to defend working families and hold lawmakers accountable, we want you to lobby with WFSE!
If you've never lobbied before, we can train you to ensure you have the right tools to effectively tell your story. Lobby Days training is not required, but is a great opportunity to learn the ins and outs of lobbying before heading to Olympia.
Join us on January 11, 2025! Register for Lobby Days Training here.
We Need Your Voice in Olympia
You have a unique perspective on your working conditions and only you can tell legislators exactly why your work matters. Even coworkers in your exact position will have a different perspective.
2025's legislative session is a long one, and we need as many voices as possible from January through April to uplift the labor movement and fight against the billionaire lobbyists trying to take power away from working people in Washington.
We have Lobby Days for districts all across the state and days for specific departments as well. You can find your legislative district here and learn which lawmakers are representing you.
If you want to join your union siblings in the fight to hold lawmakers accountable to working Washingtonians, register for a 2025 Lobby Day here.
If you want to spend more time getting to know Washington's decision-makers, sign up for PEOPLE and attend WFSE's Legislative Reception. This reception will allow you to meet the people behind the laws in Washington and get to know fellow PEOPLE members better.
