Washington's 2021 Legislative session opened this week against the backdrop of political violence at the nation's Capitol, and new restrictions because of the COVID 19 pandemic. Washington has a lot of very important issues to be dealt with during this session, and it's crucial that working people engage with their legislators... but between increased security and legislators' absence from the state Capitol in Olympia, how are they supposed to do that?
Shannon and Harold dig into these issues with state Representative Monica Stonier (https://housedemocrats.wa.gov/stonier/) who has a handy infographic to help constituents connect with the "remote" legislature on her Facebook page at
https://www.facebook.com/RepMonicaStonier49/posts/1108713819567400
Then, they talk to state Senator Anette Cleveland (https://senatedemocrats.wa.gov/cleveland/)
about how the Senate is dealing with the new restrictions.
Finally, Washington State Labor Council Government Affairs Director Joe Kendo (https://www.wslc.org/joe-kendo/) drops by to talk about the issues he and the State Labor Council are prioritizing for working people in the Evergreen State, including
Senate Bill 6051: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5061&Year=2021&Initiative=false which provides improvements to unemployment insurance and
House Bill 1076: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1076&Initiative=false&Year=2021 which focuses on Labor Standards Enforcement.
Joe (and his one-year-old "assistant" Evan, who joins him for the interview) also encourages listeners to subscribe to https://www.thestand.org/ for the latest information on what the State Labor Council is doing for working people in Olympia.
