We demand to be taken seriously

I would like to remind you of the tale of Missouri. Saint Louis passed a citywide $15 minimum wage, and the Republican led state legislature afterwards signed a bill that stated that only the state legislature can set the minimum wage. That's a problem worth figuring out how to solve.

In 2013 SeaTac, WA voters passed a $15 minimum wage ordinance, largely meant to provide airport workers with a living wage. A judge immediately ruled it didn't apply to the airport and it wasn't until 2015 the WA Supreme Court said yes it did. Some workers are still stuck in union contracts that mean airlines can pay them under $15, such as Horizon Air. In 2018 a baggage handler took an empty 76 passenger plane on a joyride that ended with him crashing into an island, and while talking with the air traffic controllers he mentioned low pay as a factor in his decision.
