A hard-fought victory as @GovInslee signed SB5236 into law, the safer staffing bill made possible by advocacy from healthcare worker members of @UFCW_3000, @SEIU1199NW, @myWSNA & countless other supporters. A meaningful step towards better safety for workers and patients. #waleg

Statement on #safestaffing committee passage: Under the current SB5236 language, staff-to-patient staffing standards will be set by nurse staffing committees. L&I will step in w/corrective action for hospitals that are noncompliant w/staffing plans #waleg wasafeandhealthy.com/news/healthcar…

“Last week I had a patient who died on my shift, and he should not have." The staffing crisis hospital execs helped create isn't just a crisis for healthcare workers, it's a patient safety crisis. WA patients & workers need #WAleg to step in. #safestaffing heraldnet.com/news/ive-never…
