Good point. Large businesses must pay $15/hour in Seattle city limits.
Statewide at $12/hour, up to $13.50 next year.
Oregon has a somewhat odd system that covers the Portland area, "urbanized counties" and rural Oregon.
Portland:
$12.50 / $13.25 / $14 / $14.75
In the period the union is negotiating.
So, this truly is more about raising certain department wage scales and helping union members in non-urban counties see a decent wage lift.
