The ordinance that passed last year will officially be the city law on September 1. But the law is only as good as the people working and employing people in Seattle know about it. In that vein, Council Member Bagshaw has a post on her blog with details. Who is and isn’t covered, and what the law actually does. There are also 3 workshops open to the public.
- Tuesday, August 21, 12 noon: North Seattle (Ballard Campus Swedish Medical Center, 5300 Tallman Ave. NW)
- Tuesday, August 28, 5:30 pm: West Seattle (Neighborhood House, 6400 Sylvan Way SW)
- Wednesday, August 29, 3 pm: Capitol Hill (Century Ballroom, 915 E. Pine Street)
Sounds like Seattle is trying their best to become Greece, Spain & Italy. Good luck with that. I wonder how many businesses will comply? I wonder how much will be spent on enforcement? I suspect the trainwreck is just around the corner.
All too true if we get Lil’ Bobbie as the next Guvna.
@1 That’s the nice thing about being a capitalist. My stocks don’t ask for days off, and every day is a vacation day for me. I don’t see why anyone works for wages, especially for asshats like you.
@2 Cheap labor conservatives won’t be happy until they repeal the 13th Amendment and reinstate slavery and whippings.
@1
More like Canada or FInland, both of which are doing better than average.
