Urge Washington State to Adopt Stronger Protections for Workers

Send Your Message Now

[shared_counts style="icon"]

On April 2, 2010, seven workers died when a heat exchanger ruptured, causing a catastrophic failure at what was then the Tesoro refinery in Anacortes, Washington. This tragedy could have been prevented if the Big Oil giant had established common-sense protections to ensure employee safety.

Today, Washington State is finally working to hold the oil industry accountable by establishing safety management standards through the Washington State Department of Labor and Industry’s draft rule. This will significantly improve refinery worker and community safety, require action, and both empower and protect all workers – not just refinery employees.

Use the link above to join us in urging Washington State to adopt strong worker protections by sending a message to the Department of Labor and Industry!

We are honored to live and work on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Nations whose current lands we call Washington. We recognize that borders are artificial—many tribal nations from the North, the South, and the East of present-day Washington also have historical and current ties to these lands.

We express our gratitude as guests and thank the original and current stewards of this land. What we experience today is a product of these nations’ ancestors’ ability to be in relationship with the natural world. We would not be here without their guardianship and connection to the earth.

We also acknowledge Black and African labor on which this country built its prosperity—we honor you.
