Yes, I did get my days wrong. so I'm off by a week. Been putting in too many 12's and 16's for months on end to make ends meet. And, as stated, I'm not in Seattle so it really doesn't affect me. But, we should be concerned with what's going on.

When did it become the City's business to pass this kind of legislation? Just answer that simple question. Maybe that's over your head.



Insults can be tossed by 2 yo's.


12 and 16 hours without overtime, I expect. Something most workers never think about. Eventually more business will be moving out of Seattle. I also suspect fewer vacation days are used these days. Some survey said Americans get less paid time off than other countries. Not surprised.

If people want paid time off for being sick, prepare to give up your right to smoke, drink or do crazy [censored] that lands you in the hospital.


I personally don't get overtime. I don't qualify for unemployment or disablility. So, It's just me trying to make things work. And, while others here may brand me a certain way, I look after my employees and their families in ways that most companies won't. I own the business and work nights. Not one of my employees does the same. All they want is a raise. I wouldn't expect other people to understand that because we really shouldn't have to work that hard, right?
