Donny Donovan Update January 27th, 2023 - Support Senate Bill 5417, it protects union members from coercive anti-union meetings! It takes a lot of courage to fight for a better, more fair workplace by joining together with coworkers in a union. Unfortunately, too many workers are compelled to attend coercive captive audience meetings during an organizing campaign, in which companies threaten employees and tell them how they should vote. SB 5417, The Employee Free Choice Act sponsored by Sen. Karen Keiser (D-Des Moines), would protect workers who decline to attend these coercive meetings from retaliation or termination. No employee should have to attend mandatory meetings where bosses push their political or religious views. Employers have the right to express their views on all subjects, including matters of individual conscience, but they should NOT be allowed to force those views on workers under the threat of losing their jobs. TAKE A STAND! Please click on the link below to send a letter to your Washington State Senators. It will provide an already written letter or you can personalize your own. It is especially important to include your experience if you have gone through coercive/captive meetings so our legislators understand the impact they have. SB 5417 - The Employee Free Choice Act |

2022 Initiatives:
Recommendation to Oppose I-1929
UPDATE:
I-1929 is officially tabled for this year. Sponsors of this initiative won't proceed and will instead wait for the outcome of a lawsuit challenging the legality of the tax.
What you should know about I-1929:
It would roll back a 7% state capital gains tax that only applies to huge (bigger than $250,000) stock profits.
This tax funds the Fair Start for kids act, which makes childcare more accessible and affordable for all families in Washington state.
It hurts hundreds of thousands of Washington's working parents who need childcare, and our students who need safe schools.
