“[W]hat’s really important about this new ordinance is that it gives clarity to me as an employer around my responsibilitie. As an employer, I believe in treating workers with dignity and fairness.”

ICYMI: Yesterday, the Seattle City Council passed a bill that amends the city’s Domestic Worker Ordinance, strengthening protections for domestic workers in the city. 🎉

Hand in Hand member Kim England was there to testify before the council and shared why she supported this bill and why it was so important for employers like her to have such guidance.

Congratulations to our domestic worker partners, and to all those who made this possible — and a BIG congratulations to all Seattle domestic workers! 🙌
