Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Washington State Labor Council.The short explanation of this alert was: THE WORKER PRIVACY ACT IS STILL ALIVE! Democratic House Speaker Frank Chopp, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown and Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire have a choice, they can allow a fair up-or-down vote on this important workers' rights legislation, or they can block a vote from happening. Send a message to your State Representatives and Senators urging them to ask Chopp, Brown and Gregoire to allow a fair up-or-down vote! The Worker Privacy Act (HB 1528 and SB 5446) would allow workers in Washington state to choose whether or not to participate in employer communication on issues of individual conscience, including politics, religion, charitable giving, and unionization. Employers would retain their freedom of speech on all issues, including these. But under the Worker Privacy Act, they would not be able to force employees to participate in such communications, or punish or fire those who opt out. Both the supporters and opponents of the bill agree their are plenty of votes for it to pass, the only question is whether Chopp, Brown and Gregoire will allow that to happen. Please send an email NOW urging your lawmakers to support the Worker Privacy Act! If you would like to view details on this alert, please visit here. |
