We need to act! 🚨 Big business is doing everything it can to kill our bill. They know ESSB 5041 - unemployment insurance for striking workers - will increase worker power at the bargaining table. Â
ESSB 5041 has a critical hearing in the House Labor & Workplace Standards committee on Tuesday, March 18 at 10:30 a.m. Please sign in PRO in support of the bill by 9:30 a.m. next Tuesday - it takes just 2 minutes.Â
If passed into law, ESSB 5041 would give workers access to unemployment insurance benefits if they are out on strike for more than two weeks. This will help level the playing field in negotiations, and workers will not have to face financial ruin if their employer provokes a strike.
Even if you've taken action before on this bill, please do so again. Sign in PRO in support of the bill now.Â
