Join UNITE HERE 8 on March 29 for discussion on I-124’s future
The following is from UNITE HERE Local 8:
On Christmas Eve 2018, the Washington Court of Appeals struck down I-124 on the grounds that it violates the single subject rule for initiatives under state law. UNITE HERE Local 8 and the City of Seattle have requested state Supreme Court review of the decision. Now, the Seattle City Council is considering taking up legislation that will keep the protections found in the initiative in place regardless of the hotel industry’s ongoing legal attacks.
We will learn about unsafe workloads, sexual harassment and violence, unaffordable healthcare, lack of job security, and fear of retaliation – all issues that workers have been confronted with since the appellate court ruling.
