re: Sea-Tac workers not happy with $15/hr minimum wage

I don't know how much I trust an article that can't get a simple fact, like a waitresses hourly wage before the hike, correct.
In WA you cannot cut wages of workers who typically receive tips as compensation. The minimum wage was $9.19 before Seatac jumped to $15. So the waitress was making $9.19 an hour plus tips, not $7. I know it's semantics but that's just lazy reporting and makes me question how much of what the Asian wrote on her blog is actually true.
To the overall point...What did these dummies think would happen?
