    Today, Seattle’s wage is at $16 for large employers, and $15 for all other employers (unless they provide a certain level of medical benefits or employee tips, which allows them to knock it down to $12 an hour). It remains one of the highest in the country, and a useful case study as we head into a presidential election where a higher minimum wage has become the standard policy position for Democratic candidates.

    Boeing and health care are major players in snubs part of the woods, and whilst the $15 per hour min wage there is playing a good part in its economy,take away major players and what do you have massive lay offs.

    This continued uncertainty has forced us to evaluate all of our options for reducing costs, and means we will likely have to make many difficult decisions in the days and weeks ahead that will involve reductions in the size of our workforce to align to expected lower levels of production when production resumes,” Gentile’s letter says.

    You are clueless. Seattle is a tech city and that drives the economy here not health care and Boeing. Boeing is important to the economy but the local economy is not even close to dependent on it.

    We have Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Google, etc etc the list goes on and on. The economy like San Francisco is booming and socialist policies are not making a shred of difference not to mention that almost all the people who work for those companies support progressives like Bernie and guess what chico?

    They are a lot smarter than you...

    You are just a fooking numpty.

    Snub get real


    The biggest employers in the Seattle area:

    • Boeing – about 80,000 employees.
    • Joint Base Lewis-McChord - about 56,000 employees.
    • University of Washington – about 25,000 employees.
    • Amazon – about 25,000 employees.
    • Providence Health & Services - about 20,000 employees.
    • Walmart - about 20,000 employees.​

    Just one of those 120 healthcare companies employs 20,000

    well it was inevitable.....they're finally coming for bloomberg.

    multiple articles on his past comments about women, teachers unions, african americans, etc...

    this is a well organized campaign and it was entirely predictable.

    it's tricky though....whoever ends up as the nominee is going to need a big piece of that 2 billion.

    I see Trump already had a crack at him over the controversial NYC stop-and-frisk program and called him a "racist".

    It's of course a program that the racist Trump has previously supported and defended so, you know, just the usual from the fucking moron.

    The massive layoffs are down to the fact that no-one wants to buy their shitty planes anymore.

    The Board and the whole executive management team should be in fucking jail for that.

    And depending on what you read, there is a estimate that 1.3 million jobs could be lost,if Sanders becomes the president.

    I totally agree that all should be earning a decent living wage,though socialism is now a dead weight, and a real threat to the west for future generations.

    There certainly needs to be a radical re-think, though Sanders is a real threat.
    That is just the sort of shit that Rush Limbaugh would trot out, and it's utter bollocks.

    It's about time someone called their fucking bluff on it before they all do what Walmart does, which is effectively get the taxpayer to subsidise its workforce and this its enormous profits.

    Perhaps you could call it out as the 1.3 million came from the congressional budget office.

    Which also said increasing the minimum wage would benefit 17 million workers. But don't let inconvenient facts get in the way.

    Sounds like they have no doubt at all.



    There is considerable uncertainty about the size of any option’s effects on employment and family income. There are two main reasons why. First, future wage growth under current law is uncertain. If wages grow faster than CBO projects, then wages in future years will be higher than CBO anticipates, and increases in the federal minimum wage would have smaller effects. If wages grow more slowly than CBO projects, the effects would be larger.
    Second, there is considerable uncertainty about the responsiveness of employment to an increase in the minimum wage. If employment is more responsive than CBO expects, then increases in the minimum wage would lead to larger declines in employment. By contrast, if employment is less responsive than CBO expects, the declines would be smaller. Findings in the research literature about how changes in the federal minimum wage affect employment vary widely. Many studies have found little or no effect, but many others have found substantial reductions in employment.

    well that's pretty obvious I would of thought.

    though is it sustainable and,it would also have knock on effects with unions then asking for wage increases in other areas.

    Obvious indeed so why are you ignoring it and focusing on the 1.3 m and conjecture about sustainability and irrelevant union negotiations.

    That's rhetorical as it's also pretty obvious.

    Mike Bloomberg 'is considering picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate in the 2020 Democratic race to help take on Trump'

    Mike Bloomberg is considering Hillary Clinton as his running mate, source says

    Polling found the Bloomberg-Clinton combination would be a formidable force to take on Trump in the race for the White House

    Bloomberg is said to be considering changing his official residence because the electoral college makes it tough for president and
    VP to reside in the same state

    'We are focused on the primary and the debate, not VP speculation,' Bloomberg's campaign has said

    As i said previously it will find also see companies leaving once again,to find cheaper labour overseas,as under the Trump admin companies have been returning, which will also see more unemployment again.

    but in your eyes fuk the employers who have to pay and let the small business communities go to the dogs.

    have a look around who is contributing to the sanders campaign not one of the top 500 companies are contributing to sanders.

    One place that will benefit is the london stock exchange, as investors will run.
