Workers hit the streets on #MayDay to make it clear we're not putting up with the business as usual being foisted by billionaires, their corporations, & their bought politicians. Together we can build the worker power to get what we're owed and build the world we deserve.
70 bikini baristas won a years-long fight for the wages they’ve been owed all along. Now, with the help of the legal team at Working Washington Rights Center, formerly Fair Work Center, and co-counsel at @SGB_LAW, they’re getting back $1.85 million! tr.ee/iLo2_dMRcC
For the past 15 years, Working Washington has taken on workers’ biggest fights - and won. Today, as the billionaires’ economy makes life worse for the rest of us, we’ve got even bigger fights ahead. And we’re ready.
That’s why we’ve rebranded.
Watch @MayorofSeattle, @OLS_SEA, and @workingwa join app-based drivers as they announce the Uber Eats settlement of nearly $4.4 million returned to over 14,000 gig workers for alleged violations of Seattle's App-Based Worker Minimum Payment Ordinance.

Hey UberEats… *points to massive settlement where UberEats agreed to pay $15 million to 16,000+ workers for violating two labor rights laws* …this you?? 👀
Restaurant workers organized for and won a new way to enforce safe workplaces. By expanding King Co Public Health's ability to help restaurants ensure safe, healthy workplaces for workers, we can finally treat workers' rights like the public health issue they are.
Restaurants already post food safety grades. Soon, if they don’t fix labor violations, they’ll have to post a second sign calling that out. king5.com/article/news/local…
Workers, repped by our legal clinic Fair Work Center, argued before the state Supreme Court last week that exempting live-in care workers from the right to minimum wage is unconstitutional. (Also gross/wrong/immoral but that's not exactly a legal premise) thestranger.com/news/2025/09…
If the Court rules in workers' favor, we will finally strike down this 64-year-old exemption that has carved this majority Black, majority immigrant, majority women industry out of fundamental labor standards for decades. Stay tuned. 👀
