When we speak up together, we win!
WFSE members scored several legislative victories over the past week, including bills that will protect our birthdates from public disclosure, hold private government contractors accountable, and grant language access providers the ability to negotiate their health care.
Take a look at the WFSE-sponsored bills that are on their way to Governor Inslee's desk:
✓SAFETY & PRIVACY
HB 1888 (Hudgins): Protecting public employee dates of birth from public disclosure
✓ACCOUNTABILITY IN OUTSOURCING
HB 1521 (Dolan): Providing for accountability and transparency in government contracting
✓COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
HB 2017 (Frame): Collective bargaining for administrative law judges
HB 2691 (Valdez) to help interpreters gain access to health care.
✓EXPANDING SHARED LEAVE
HB 2739 (Kloba): Allowing employees to retain some vacation or sick leave while receiving shared leave
These bills would not have cleared the legislature without WFSE members taking action. Our letters, phone calls, emails, and visits to the Capitol made the difference.
