It doesn’t matter what your boss says. It doesn’t matter what your job title is. And it doesn’t matter what city you work in.

As of January 1, 2018, if you’re an hourly worker in Washington state, you get paid sick time.

And that’s why we’re reaching out today.

Can you answer a few quick questions to make sure your employer is following the new sick time law, and you and your co-workers are getting what you’re entitled to?

Paid sick time has been the law since January 1st. Under the new law, all hourly workers in Washington get 1 hour of sick time for every 40 hours worked — about 6 days a year if you work full-time. And the law says you have a right to use your sick time if you’re sick, for a medical appointment, or to care for a sick family member.

Now it’s up to us to make sure that right is a reality in every workplace in our state. Take our sick time check-up so we can see how we’re doing.

Thanks,

Working Washington

By refusing to visit the White House, Chris Long, Torrey Smith, and Malcolm Jenkins have taken a bold stance against this illegitimate president and the racist, xenophobic, and sexist policies he stands for. They are risking the alienation of his teammates, coaches, and fans in order to stand up for his principles.

Their stance shouldn’t be taken lightly. After the past year of national anthem protests on the field, and strong condemnation from team owners and Donald Trump, these players are putting their livelihood on the line and risking alienation from their teammates and fans – all to condemn racism and misogyny from this president. We’re in a pivotal moment when everyday Americans and public figures with shared values of justice and equity are using their powerful voices to say enough is enough–no more racism, no more anti-Muslim bigotry, no more misogyny, and no more Trump!We need to continue to support the athletes that are risking their livelihoods to stand up for justice.
