Subminimum wages in Seattle?
That’s a dealbreaker.
When fast food workers in Seattle went on strike against poverty-wage jobs, our city responded by making history: business groups, worker organizations, elected officials, and community leaders came together and made a deal to phase-in the nation's first $15 minimum wage.
Now that historic minimum wage agreement is under attack by industry lobby groups who want to go back on their agreement and establish a permanent subminimum wage for tipped workers.
