Work Has Changed. Policy Should Too.
Work has changed - but many workplace policies haven't kept up. This effort focuses on creating fair, transparent standards for flexible work and commuting expectations in Washington.
What We Mean by Fair Work
Fair Work means modern workplace standards that ensure employees have access to flexibility, fair treatment, and transparency - while supporting sustainable and productive businesses.
Core Policy Areas
Flexible work options
Set your schedule, not just follow it
Workers should have real control over when and where they work. Remote and hybrid options should be accessible.
Your commute should count
Your time getting to work should count
Time spent commuting is time taken from workers' lives. Employees deserve fair compensation for that time.
Clear workplace policy
No hidden rules or surprise changes
Workers should always know the rules that affect them. Policies must be clear and consistently applied.
Fair treatment standards
Same rules, same respect for everyone
Every worker deserves equal treatment, regardless of role or status. Fair standards ensure respect.
Work should be fair. It's not.
Fair Work Washington started with a simple idea: work should be fair for everyone.
Today, too many workers deal with unpredictable schedules, unpaid time, unclear policies, and inconsistent treatment.
We're working to change that - by pushing for practical, modern standards that reflect how people actually work and live today.
