With the elections behind us, now is a critical time to ensure that our industry’s voice is represented and heard by Washington State’s lawmakers.

Some of the new Bill Proposals for Washington businesses?

Paid Family & Medical Leave

  • Eliminate current job protection and health coverage exemption for small businesses
  • Make benefits available to any employees with merely 90 calendar days at work

Minimum Wage – Will increase but we don’t know the scope

Unemployment Insurance Coverage

  • For striking workers
  • For undocumented workers

And More…

Do you think legislative policies are set in stone and you can’t make a difference?  Think again! 
NWACA and Washington Retail are partnering to change that.  We are working together to make sure your voice is heard before legislation becomes law.  

Join Bryan Kelley and Rose Gundersen on December 18th 12:00 pm to learn about upcoming legislative proposals and what you can do to influence them. Don’t miss your opportunity to get informed and take action!

This is our opportunity to work together to create positive change. Don’t miss your chance to make a difference in Washington’s policies – your perspective is invaluable.
