Jan 23, 2021 State Legislative Update
Please take one minute to help save our farms! With 24 lawsuits filed and all farmers facing the reality of 3 years retroactive overtime pay mandated by the WA State Supreme court, two bills are in the legislature that will change this. But only if our voices are heard.
If all of you on this list took a moment to use our new call to action system to send a message to lawmakers on the overtime retroactive pay issue, we could almost certainly turn this around. Especially if you shared the link and strongly encourage all you know to take action.
Go to www.savefamilyfarming.org and within a few seconds your message will be sent to all the key legislators dealing with this and your own representatives. Super easy!
Even easier for those who like to text. Just text FARMWORKER to 52886 and the automated system will let the legislators know your concern and support for the bills to protect farmers.
We need as many farmers and farm supporters as possible to register to present briefly via zoom at the Senate hearing on the bill. If a great many are interested in presenting, our lawmakers will definitely get the message that this bill matters. To register for the Jan 28 hearing click link here.
