PAID SICK AND SAFE LEAVE  PROPOSAL - Where are we now?

In December of 2015, the Bellingham City Council signed a resolution asking the Washington State legislature to enact a law guaranteeing paid sick and safe leave for all employees in Washington State.  This matter is said to be one of the Council's "highest priorities in the 2016 state legislative session".

Please join us in welcoming Roxanne Murphy, Bellingham City Councilmember, At Large, as she explains her perspectives on this matter.  She will discuss what led to this proposal, the benefits it would provide to the community, and what Is happening with the proposal now.
