Seattle Socialist city councilwoman Kshama Sawant is coming under fire—

in #discussion6 years ago



and that fusillade is coming from unions
............................................................................................................................................

  • Sawant might eschew seeking reelection after her support of a failed head tax plan triggered a battle with union members. Other rumors hint that she’s looking for a successor. At one rally for the head tax, union construction workers shouted Sawant down after Amazon announced it had stopped a building project in Seattle.

  • In mid-May, the Seattle City Council voted unanimously to steal from for a head tax on the city’s largest employers

Unions hated it, all local business hated it.


In mid-June, Seattle's city council voted to repeal the head tax.
