Only one issue is on the ballot for B-Town – Initiative Measure 1, a proposed new minimum wage law for the City of Burien:

City of Burien

Initiative Measure No. 1

“City of Burien Initiative Measure No. 1 concerns labor standards for Burien employers.

“This measure would require large employers, as defined, to pay employees an hourly minimum wage based on what is required of employers in the city of Tukwila, with phase in periods for smaller employers, adjusted annually for inflation. Certain employers must offer additional hours of work to existing employees before hiring new employees or subcontractors. The proposed ordinance protects employees from retaliation, creates remedies and penalties for violations.

“Should this Ordinance be enacted into law?

“Yes

“No”
