Seattle Mayor Ed Murray’s committee of business and labor failed to reach an agreement on raising the minimum wage in the city. The Seattle Times,
“A core group of negotiators worked late Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, met an hour into the scheduled start time for the final meeting and continued tense discussions with staff members from the mayor’s office into Wednesday evening, said several observers… Negotiators have been working through several divisive issues, including the length of a phase-in, whether to give business credit for tips and benefits, and the size of business to which a phase-in would apply.”
