This November Washington voters will decide the fate of Initiative 1433, which would raise the minimum wage to $13.50/hour statewide and mandate paid sick leave for all employees regardless of the employer's size. There are no exemptions for parts of the state that are less economically robust than the Puget Sound region. We discuss our new Special Report on I-1433, and the potential fallout if the initiative passes. To read the full report, click here: http://researchcouncil.org/files/docs/2016/08/i1433.pdf
