We want your input! Share your thoughts to help us shape our What Workers Want agenda & ensure workers get what we need.
Eight billionaires in WA have gotten almost $138 billion richer since the pandemic took hold in March — all while 2.2 million people in WA can’t afford to buy groceries.
Now more than ever, we need politicians to put the needs of workers before the wishlists of the wealthy. We don’t need the same old trickle-down agenda. We need income support programs that help us put food on the table and pay our rent. We need strong workers’ rights laws that protect everyone’s health & safety. We need a just recovery built on jobs, not cuts. And we need your input.
