With the movement for a mandatory paid-sick-leave ordinance seemingly gaining steam, the Washington Restaurant Association today exhorted its Seattle members to ask the city council to oppose the plan.
Josh McDonald, the association’s director of state and local government affairs, says concern that the proposed legislation could cost restaurant owners upward of $100,000 prompted the “action alert.”
“This rises to that level,” McDonald says. “We know our city council leaders are looking at this now, and we felt it was incredibly important to have a voice.”
