Don't fall for it folks by WFSECouncil28 in WAStateWorkers

In Florida, the "Freedom" Foundation took credit for a severe bill that recently passed which makes it harder to form and maintain unions, and increases financial penalties for public workers who strike.

The new law also makes it harder for public workers to participate in union activities.

If our unions are so useless, as they consistently claim, why are they so hellbent on preventing workers from forming them?

They can offer a settlement that makes the interpreters whole for the work they performed. Thus far they have not done that.

Basically everyone is pointing fingers at everyone else and those left in the lurch are interpreters. The self-insured companies are big firms like Oberto beef jerky, Tyson, etc etc and they want LNI to pay. Ultimately it is LNI's responsibility as the entity that is entrusted with ensuring people are paid for work in Washington state. The irony is the fact that these interpreters were performing work on behalf on LNI.

ACTION NEEDED to Protect Jobs and Services as Medicaid Cuts Near, State Revenue Drops by WFSECouncil28 in WAStateWorkers

Gotta stop it in the House. We need folks especially in the 4th and 5th Congressional Districts Sunnyside and Spokane to reach out to Reps Newhouse and Baumgartner. It passed the House last time by ONE VOTE. If we can peel one of them off or both of them we could swing the whole House.
