No more hazard pay for Seattle grocery workers
Grocery stores in Seattle have been required to pay an additional $4 an hour to workers since last February. The money was meant to compensate them for the risk of working during the pandemic. But it was always temporary, and now it's going away.
KUOW’s Ruby de Luna is here to tell us what grocery store workers have to say about the change.
