Thisll kill a few of you boys...The council member pushing this through is a true.... self proclaimed ...........Socialist, and our new mayor who approved it is........Gay.
( not that theres anything wrong with it !!!--- Jerry Seinfeld ) What does the mayor's sexual preference have to do with anything? You liberals are so judgmental. Btw, why didn't you ever tell us you were elected to the city council?

What is the rate before the increase?
The only thing this will do is cause businesses to raise their overall prices. So the dumb ass people who think this will help will be paying more FOR EVERYTHING. So retarded....

Looks like they approved a wage hike to $15 hour. Will be intreesting to see how things work out. Other cities that have done this have had increases in business & jobs.
I guess we'll see?! Wish us luck. They didn't approve it. Copy from AOL today. The mayor of Seattle announced Thursday that he'd developed a plan for a $15 minimum wage that had wide backing from the city's lawmakers, labor leaders and business community. The proposal unveiled by Mayor Ed Murray would gradually raise the city's minimum wage from $9.32 to $15 over the course of three to seven years, making it the highest city wage floor in the nation. The speed of the hike for individual employers would depend upon how many workers they have and the value of the non-wage benefits they offer. “Once again Seattle has chosen to collaborate and Seattle workers are going to get a raise,” Murray said at a Thursday news conference, according to the Seattle Times. Murray's plan is just a proposal for now, and it would require the city council to write legislation and pass it. But the mayor said the plan enjoyed broad support from the commission he'd tasked with developing it, with 21 members of the 24-member committee having agreed to it. The proposal is least forgiving for large businesses with more than 500 workers, which will have to reach the new $15 minimum by 2017 if they don't give workers tips or health coverage; if they do, they'll be given another year to reach $15. Businesses with fewer than 500 workers will have until either 2019 or 2021 to hit $15, depending on the benefits they offer.

Less public assistance. People will spend a little more. Its all good. Less welfare food stamps less crime. Lower employee turnover.

$15 an hour means the rest of us don't have to buy their food and pay for their medical expenses. I'm happy to pay the extra .14 per pizza. I know its a huge sacrifice but i am willing to suffer a little while longer while i wait to be trickled on.

Even if they got paid 20 a hour they'd still live beyond their means, but lets see what happens.

The only ways to pay for a raise like that are either to fire some workers and overload others, or raise prices which will result in fewer customers.
It's just a fact: if you take a particular business situation and you suddenly have to pay more wages, you will make less money or go out of business. isn't this the most basic fact here?

No more money is being created! Money doesn't magically appear. The ceiling just changes. The only way people can make more money is by creating more jobs. A minimum wage increase does not increase jobs.

I guess we'll see?! Wish us luck. Who gets this- Municipal employees, or all? Let us know how this works out for the prices.
