MARCH 12 DEADLINE LOOMS - YOUR CALLS NEEDED

• Call 1-800-562-6000 and urge your legislators to oppose SHB 1951, the bill privatizing seven fish hatcheries. It puts the card before the horse because we need to oppose the governor’s all-cuts budget, HB 1244 and SB 5600.

• Call 1-800-562-6000 and urge legislators to support SHB 1953, the Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers’ service credit transfer bill. SHB 1953 is a matter of fairness. Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers are the only LEOFF 2 enrollees denied the PERS service credit.

• Call 1-800-562-6000 and urge legislators to support HB 1920, the bill explicitly allowing legislators to meet with state employees at the worksite.

• Call 1-800-562-6000 to support the Worker Privacy Act, SSB 5446 and HB 1528. The Worker Privacy Act 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.
