Description
Talk of raising the minimum wage for Olympia workers is raising concerns with business owners.
Earlier this month, members of the Thurston-Lewis-Mason Central Labor Council and United Food and Commercial Workers Local 367 presented the city’s finance committee with a proposal to raise the minimum wage.
The representatives called the presentation, “Olympia Needs a Workers’ Bill of Rights.”
“You can’t live in this area if you’re making minimum wage,” said Rachelle Martin, president of the Thurston-Lewis-Mason Central Labor Council.
Martin said Olympia’s city council should adopt an ordinance to raise the minimum wage at least to more than $20 an hour.
