(51,907 posts)Friends,
Tuesday, February 5 is Work and Family Day in Olympia! The House Labor and Workforce Development Committee is devoting most of its schedule to our two bills:
HB 1313 Establishing minimum standards for sick and safe leave from employment, Sponsored by Rep. Laurie Jinkins
HB 1457 Implementing family and medical leave insurance, Sponsored by Rep. Tami Green.
When: Tuesday, February 5, 10:00 am to noon
Where: John L OBrien building, Olympia (we expect the hearing room to be reassigned to accommodate a large turnout)
What you can do:
1. Sign in pro on both bills
2. Spread the word and encourage your members to attend.
3. Help us identify good stories and good spokes people.
Thanks, and see you in Olympia.
