OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM YES FOR SEATAC:
This win in SeaTac gives hope to thousands of people working for record-profit making corporations at the airport; hope that they can make bills on time, take care of a sick child, pursue an education, or save for retirement. Some workers at airports like SeaTac have seen their wages drop nearly 50% in the last 13 years, and they are just the tip of the iceberg. The last year of public demonstrations illustrates that there are millions of others like them in fast food restaurants and big box stores all over the country who work full-time, overtime, even two jobs, and cannot make ends meet. Voters in SeaTac said clearly that if you work hard for a living, you should have the opportunity to make a living. This vote is also a win for the local economy. By raising wages for more than 6,000 low-wage workers, the SeaTac initiative will provide a $54 million economic boost to the region, and create 400 new jobs. Voters in other cities may be soon demanding new approaches like this one to create good jobs that rebuild the economy from the middle out.
