[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1723398, member: 12952"] Here's a new twist . [SIZE=5][B][URL='http://moonbattery.com/?p=60444']Seattle Employees Ask for Reduced Hours So That Jacked-Up Minimum Wage Won’t Cost Them Subsidized Housing[/URL][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B] Nora Gibson is the executive director of Full Life Care, a nonprofit that serves elderly people in various homes and nursing facilities. She is also on the board of the Seattle Housing Authority. Gibson told KIRO 7 she saw a sudden reaction from workers when Seattle’s phased minimum-wage ordinance took effect in April, bringing minimum wage to $11 an hour. She said anecdotally, some people feared they would lose their subsidized units but still not be able to afford market-rate rents. It doesn’t stop at $11/hour. The law puts it up to $15 starting January 1, 2017. Five employees at one of her organization’s 24-hour care facilities for Alzheimer’s patients asked to reduce their hours in order to remain eligible for subsidies. [/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
