2019 Washington State Labor Council Lobby Day - WPEA Members Invited!

12/21/2018

0 Comments

 
  • Will legislators move to protect Washington public employees’ freedom to stand together in unions after this year’s Janus decision by the U.S. Supreme Court?
 
  • Will the new budget not only fund state employee contracts, but also sustain critical public services?
 
  • Will they take steps to make Washington’s worst-in-the-nation tax system fairer for working families? 
 
Lawmakers need to hear from public employees to make sure they invest in public services and protect our right to negotiate for better wages.
 
Join hundreds of union members from across the state at the Washington State Labor Council’s 2019 Legislative Reception and Lobbying Conference to make sure your elected officials hear your voice. The events are set for January 30-31 in Olympia.
All union members are invited to attend WSLC legislative events to learn about these and other issues important to their unions and the state’s labor movement.

Reception
Wednesday, January 30
6:30-8:30 PM

Hotel RL Olympia
2300 Evergreen Park Dr. SW
Olympia, WA 98502. 

This is a great opportunity for union members to meet and mix with legislators, elected state officials, and agency directors and staff in an informal setting. Attendees are welcome to bring a guest for just $20 per person.

Conference & Lobby Day
 Thursday, January 31
8:30 AM – 2:00 PM.
 
The WSLC Lobbying Conference begins at the hotel at 8:30 Thursday morning — registration opens at 7:30 a.m. — with a brief legislative lobbying training and review of the most pressing issues facing organized labor, then delegates will take buses to the Capitol to lobby their legislators on these issues. Buses will bring delegates back to the hotel for lunch and a quick debriefing and be finished by about 2 p.m.
