The West African Community Council partners with the city of Seattle’s Office of Labor Standards (OLS) to host bi-weekly Labor Advocacy workshops.

The OLS’s office is mandated to implement the City's labor standards for Minimum Wage, Paid Sick and Safe Time, Wage Theft, Fair Chance Employment (limiting the use of conviction and arrest records in employment decisions), Secure Scheduling, Hotel Employees Protections Ordinances, Domestic Workers Ordinance, Commuter Benefits Ordinance, Transportation Network Company Legislation, and other laws that the city may enact in the future.
