Big Business is getting ready to roll out its Astroturf group, OneSeattle, hiding behind small businesses and people of color. OneSeattle is run by Starbucks, Alaska Airlines, big Grocery companies, for one reason and one reason only: to protect their profits! We always said: big business will fight hard against a strong $15/hour measure in Seattle. Because they know what it will mean. A strong 15 victory would send a message reverberating throughout the nation that the working class can fight AND win. It will mean workers would not stop at winning 15, learn lessons from the struggle, and go on to other fights against the 1%. Big business understands whats at stake, and they are quietly organizing their forces to try and crush us. Do we understand whats at stake? Are we going to get ready to pierce the first dagger in the heart of the system that generates economic misery for the majority of workers? Will YOU help us build 15 Now? Will you join us today? slog.thestranger/slog/archives/2014/04/08/leaked-e-mail-shows-big-business-trying-to-use-small-businesses-and-workers-to-weaken-15-minimum-wage
