From today’s Seattle Times:

The battle over increasing SeaTac’s minimum wage to $15 an hour, the highest in the nation, is heading to federal court after claims by SeaTac Committee for Good Jobs that a city review board improperly eliminated 201 signatures from the petition.

No idea when a decision will be made, so the election remains in limbo.

The Times also had a very good Labor Day story on this issue, wrapping it appropriately in the larger political and union context. We were glad to see our report mentioned.

An analysis by the business-backed Washington Research Council estimates 5 percent of minimum-wage jobs will be cut by SeaTac employers if the initiative becomes law. Other workers would be replaced by better-skilled employees, the analysis predicts.

More later.
