Show Notes
Washington States Immigrant Worker Protection Act, signed by Governor Bob Ferguson, requires employers to notify workers of federal I-9 inspections within five business days. This includes posting notices in multiple languages and sending alerts via text or mail. The law aims to protect immigrant workers from surprise audits but has sparked debate due to potential penalties and the impact on businesses, particularly in agriculture. Washington joins other states with similar laws, with supporters arguing it levels the playing field for all employers.
