Rally Feb. 20 at Capitol for shared prosperity

OLYMPIA (Jan. 30, 2015) — The Washington State Labor Council, its affiliated unions, and community supporters of the 2015 Shared Prosperity Agenda will rally on the Capitol steps at noon on Friday, Feb. 20. BE HEARD! Join hundreds of public- and private-sector workers standing together to call for:

■  Investment in schools, transportation, infrastructure, and public employees;

■  Accountability from aerospace companies that get subsidies from taxpayers; and

■  An END to attacks on collective bargaining and other fundamental worker rights!

We want good jobs and shared prosperity to rebuild the middle class in Washington state!
