Walking out into History How Seattle fast food workers struck poverty and won $15 How Washington state’s response to unemployment fraud is victimizing workers with delays, threats, intense financial strain We are calling on Governor Inslee and Employment Security Department Commissioner LeVine to address the crisis in our unemployment system by taking three bold steps to create a more accessible system which quickly qualifies workers for benefits and immediately begins providing support:Confirm baseline eligibility within 7 days.Immediately pay the minimum benefit as soon as baseline eligibility is determined.Make the system work equitably for everyone. Our organization stands in solidarity with the movement for Black lives and the powerful protests in Seattle, across Washington, and all across this country. We join the call for dignity and justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, Sean Reed, James Scurlock, David McAtee, Charleena Lyles, and the thousands of other Black lives taken by police officers and white supremacist violence.
