Welcome to Season 8! The legislative session just opened in Washington State and already Republicans and Democrats have introduced a bill which would erode overtime for farmworkers, on the first working day that the new overtime law went into effect. Rosalinda Guillen, Edgar Franks, Lelo Juarez and Liz Darrow talk about why this bill must die before it gets a hearing and how you can help make that happen.
Also in this episode: an update on flood relief, Lelo's inaugural Immigration Advisory Board meeting, and which movies we think you should add to your watch list.
Contact Chairman of the Labor and Workforce Development Committee, Mike Sells, and tell him not to give this bill a hearing:
