Working Washington, a union-backed advocacy group pushing for increased minimum wages, called it “an extraordinary development” that the restaurant association “has now been compelled to publicly support higher wages,” and “perhaps the strongest indicator yet of how much our state’s politics have changed since fast food workers first went on strike for $15 an hour.”
