This year, gig workers with our PayUp campaign came together to win first-in-the-nation sick leave and hazard pay laws in Seattle. We helped lead the statewide coalition that won a $40 million fund in direct relief to undocumented immigrant workers. And we've been leading the call to address the crisis in our state's unemployment system.
We were there on the picket lines alongside striking fruit packing workers in Yakima, providing legal support to 127 workers as they filed health & safety complaints with the state. We gave dozens of health & safety trainings, and launched new workers' rights training programs in SeaTac & Yakima.
And much more.
In 2021, we have big plans to keep winning new labor standards for workers, keep holding elected officials accountable to workers' needs, and to ensure state leaders fund an equitable recovery built on jobs, not cuts.
Our vision is a state where everyone shares in the prosperity we create together: a place where all workers are treated with dignity, paid enough, and able to participate in a growing community.
We’re asking supporters to step up to become 2021 members of Working Washington.
