Good news for farmworkers in Washington State
December 1, 2020
Making our voice heard to change something around us may seem complicated or even impossible. But here's great news for you: a win by the hardworking people who came together and decided to speak out. Farmworkers in Washington state now have the right to earn overtime.
For 60 years, agricultural workers have been excluded from overtime pay for work over 40 hours per week in Washington state. However, in the first week of November 2020, the Washington Supreme Court ruled that this exclusion was unconstitutional.
