Washington state domestic workers will now have statewide labor protections under the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, signed into law Monday by Gov. Bob Ferguson.

House Bill 2355, sponsored by Rep. Brianna Thomas (D-Seattle) and championed in the Senate by Sen. Rebecca Saldaña (D-Seattle), who sponsored the Senate companion bill, ensures that nannies, housekeepers, cooks, home care providers, and other domestic workers receive fair pay, written agreements, privacy protections, and legal recourse — rights they have been denied for decades.
