Seattle mulls new secure scheduling rules for hourly workers
Seattle officials backed by labor groups propose city rules for retail and fast food firms with 500 global employees. The plan would require two week shift notices, predictable pay for missed hours, and minimum rest between shifts while giving existing staff hours before new hires. Public support cites reduced income inequality and worker stability, while critics warn of higher costs and reduced scheduling flexibility.
