Grocery Workers

The Seattle City Council has voted to end COVID-19 hazard pay for grocery stores. The council voted 5-2 on Tuesday, with Councilmembers Lisa Herbold and Teresa Mosqueda absent, to repeal a policy passed in early 2021 which required grocery stores to pay employees an additional $4 per hour in hazard pay.

Jenny Durkan, the outgoing mayor of Seattle, says she will veto City Council legislation that would have repealed the $4 an hour hazard pay boost for grocery workers that has been in place for nearly a year.
