Covid Benefits

Work during the pandemic has been a constant challenge for all and we are requesting the KP WA step up and reinstate Covid Benefits and provide incentives. Discussions have been happening both locally and with the National Alliance to make this happen. Stay tuned for more information about how you can participate!

Safe Staffing

UFCW, SEIU and WSNA along with dozens of other unions and community organizations are working together in Olympia to show our state lawmakers that our community cares about safe staffing. Senate Bill 5751 and House Bill 1868 create laws to improve worker safety and patient care. We are collecting member stories to present to lawmakers regarding current working conditions and staffing challenges. You can find the petition link here:
