It’s been exactly a year since workers won secure scheduling in Seattle!

Tens of thousands of Seattle coffee, food, and retail workers are covered by the law, which went into effect this July. Under the new law, workers get two weeks’ notice of their schedules, the right to rest between shifts, and more. In short, it means that workers get to plan their work around their lives, instead of the other way around.

The best way to celebrate an anniversary like this is to look to the future. So answer a couple quick questions about what YOUR schedule is like, and let us know if anything has changed for you & what changes you’d like to see.

Already, we’re hearing from workers who are seeing more predictable hours, more notice, and more stability when it comes to planning their lives.

And it’s not just Seattle — the movement is spreading fast! Since last September, workers have won scheduling laws like Seattle’s in Oregon and NYC, several corporations have announced improved policies, and more cities and states across the country are considering their own scheduling laws.

So…what’s YOUR work schedule like?

Thanks!
