UFCW Local 21 Action CenterCampaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit UFCW Local 21.The short explanation of this alert was: On February 16th, Governor Christine Gregoire declared her support for Fair Share Health Care and pledged to pass Fair Share next year. Write to the Governor and thank her for her pledge of support. Governor Gregoire will not have the opportunity to sign the Fair Share bill this year. Despite support from a majority of members of the State House -- including Democrats and Republicans from all corners of the state -- House Speaker Frank Chopp blocked the bill from coming to a vote. But the Governor understands -- like we do -- that everyone pays the price when irresponsible companies like Wal‑Mart make billions but refuse to provide affordable health benefits. That's why she pledged to stand with us and pass Fair Share Health Care next year.
