Working Washington is a statewide workers organization that fights to raise wages, improve labor standards, and change the conversation about wealth, inequality, and the value of work.
WE LAUNCHED THE FAST FOOD STRIKES THAT SPARKED THE FIGHT FOR $15 IN SEATTLE; we organized airport workers who helped pass $15 in SeaTac; we led the effort to win secure scheduling for Seattle coffee, food, and retail workers; and we continue to fight for workers rights in Seattle, Yakima, South King County, and across the state.
Working Washington uses innovative organizing strategies, creative mobilizations, and visually engaging actions to bring worker voices to the center of public debate. Since our founding in 2011, we have been at the forefront of struggles in Washington State to build power for low-wage workers, transform the conversation about how our economy works, and break the cycle of political domination by corporations and the ultra-wealthy.
Working Washington regularly earns local, national, and international media attention, including coverage in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Washington Post, Salon, The Nation, The American Prospect, PBS Newshour, The Guardian, BBC News, Radio Canada (French-language), Der Spiegel (Germany), Netherlands Public Broadcasting, the Korean Broadcast Service and other outlets
