Currently, parents of children with disabilities cannot get paid to care for them until the child turns 18. This legislative session, we're supporting the policy to allow parents of Medicaid eligible children under the age 18 to be paid caregivers. washingtonstatestandard.com/…
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor Black labor activists fighting to build unions for all workers—resisting the exploitation that continues today. Their courage teaches us that unity is our strength and we won’t back down in the fight against attacks on diversity & worker rights!

Working people spoke out and made our voices heard against an order that threatened funding for vital services we rely on, just to hand tax breaks to billionaires. #WeWontBackDown
Nursing home members and SEIU 775 President Sterling Harders (at 1:14:56) testified during yesterday's hearing in support of SB 5344, which would establish the Essential Worker Healthcare Program - affordable healthcare for nursing home workers in Washington State! tvw.org/watch/?clientID=9375…
SEIU 775 stands by Parent Providers. Today, a group of Parent Providers showed up in Olympia to support SB 5222, a bill that would allow parents of minors to be reimbursed for the care they provide. Currently these parents can’t get paid for their essential work, which we are working to change. We need to make sure everyone can get their care they need from the caregiver of their choice!
This week, Vicki, caregiver and SEIU 775 Executive Board member, stressed the critical need to strengthen WA Cares when she shared her story with the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee. tvw.org/watch/?clientID=9375…

On #MLKDay, we honor his fight for racial & economic justice. There’s no economic justice without racial justice. Unions give workers a voice & help to ensure fair wages for all. ✊ #UnionStrong

It’s Thanksgiving week & @CLTAairport workers are on strike! We keep the airport running but @AmericanAir’s contractors, @ABM_Industries & Prospect Services, pay us so little that 40% of CLT workers can’t afford housing. We demand an end to poverty wages & unfair labor practices!
ALT CLT Airport Workers On Strike!
10 years ago, the @seattletimes opposed the passage of Seattle’s groundbreaking $15 minimum wage law, so it’s no surprise to see them pushing now to lower wages for tipped workers. We applaud @MayorofSeattle for standing up for restaurant and other workers and moving forward with the minimum wage compromise adopted a decade ago. seattletimes.com/opinion/edi…
