COVID sick days above and beyond PTO, overtime kicking in days that employees work more than 8 hours, having to pay minimum 4 hours on days when employees are scheduled but offered voluntary time off, ridiculous unemployment rules, and now this minimum wage.

Washington is tracking national unemployment more closely now than it has in prior decades.
