In a debate that began on Wednesday night and lasting into Thursday morning, unions and the conservative Freedom Fighters group clashed over Senate Bill 6199. The proposal can be traced back to an incident that occurred last year where the Freedom Foundation sued SEIU Local 775 in order to get home health care workers' contact information so they could tell members that they weren’t required to pay dues. The SEIU sponsored a successful ballot measure in response that shielded certain information about their employees from Washington State’s public-records law. After a grueling debate, the bill ultimately did not receive a floor vote.
