WASHINGTON
Washington State Labor Council
releases state lawmaker ratings
When it comes to the voting
records of Washington state leg-
islators, Southwest Washington
has some of the most pro-
worker—and anti-worker—in
the state, at least as tallied by the
Washington State Labor Coun-
cil, AFL-CIO. WSLC coordi-
nates political and legislative ac-
tion at the state level for more
than 600 affiliated local unions
representing approximately
500,000 rank-and-file union
members, and every year, it is-
sues a report tracking how law-
makers voted on issues that mat-
ter to working people. WSLC’s
2021 report scored lawmakers
for their votes on 19 bills.
