Inslee Signs WFSE/AFSCME Bill Into Law

Governor Inslee signed a WFSE-initiated bill into law that allows state employees to take advantage of the federal law allowing pre-income tax deductions for qualified transit and parking benefits.

Bill Signing Friday, May 3!

Join us at a bill signing ceremony for HB 1456 on Friday, May 3rd, at 11:00 AM.  

 

HB 1456 authorizes, under certain conditions, pretax payroll deductions for qualified transit and parking benefits.

 

This is a bill that WFSE has been working on for 3 years and it's a great victory for our Union, especially the Green Caucus!
