Dozens of General Administration members, Local 443 allies and others braved a spring downpour and marched in front of GA headquarters in Olympia Tuesday before the official demand-to-bargain meeting over layoffs and contracting out. About 20 GA trades workers have been laid off, while work obviously still existed based on the agency’s contracting out of a lot of work.Comment Policy

Why is this not showing up more on the website for those who are involved to see how things are going. Also, for the families of those laid off for no good reason.
