Teamsters-backed legislation that will extend unemployment insurance to workers on strike in Washington state has been signed into law by Gov. Bob Ferguson.



Washington has joined New York and New Jersey to become the third state to extend unemployment insurance to striking workers.



“We’re leveling the playing field and giving workers the strength to fight for fair contracts even if they get forced to the picket line by their employers,” said Paul Dascher, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 117. “This bill became reality because Teamsters demonstrated the same strength and solidarity in the halls of the state house that we put forth on the picket line.”
