Hundreds of Climate Pledge Arena concession workers to get back pay after city investigation
This story was originally published on Hundreds of concessions workers at Climate Pledge Arena will receive back wages. According to a press release from the Seattle Office of Labor Standards (OLS), the city investigated Seattle Concessions Inc., a concessions provider at Climate Pledge Arena, for alleged violations of the Wage Theft, Secure Scheduling, and Paid Sick and Safe Time ordinances. 'The company settled the allegations and agreed to pay $353,280.76 in back wages, interest, liquidated damages and civil penalties to 685 employees, along with $1,164.28 in fines to the City of Seattle,' the release said. According to OLS, the company did not provide employees with all required rest breaks, nor did it pay workers for some employer-initiated schedule changes under the Secure Scheduling ordinance. OLS also said Seattle Concessions failed to provide proper written notice of Seattle's Paid Sick and Safe Time (PSST) ordinance. 'Breaks are extremely beneficial for customers, the business and the worker. They make workers better at customer service as well,' said Seattle Concessions Inc. employee Orion Penn in a statement included in the press release. 'It's important for workers to stand up for their rights because so many don't. So many are afraid, and so many can't afford to lose their jobs. But they definitely need to, and they should know that they are supported and protected.' 'Seattle's labor standards, including Wage Theft, Paid Sick and Safe Time, and Secure Scheduling, are designed to safeguard the interests of all workers, including those in the service industry,' said OLS Director Steven Marchese in the release. 'Labor laws help facilitate better working conditions and ensure workers in Seattle can operate free of retaliation in the workplace, earn a livable wage and have greater stability both in and out of the workplace.' KIRO Newsradio and MyNorthwest have reached out to Seattle Concessions Inc. and Climate Pledge Arena for comment.

Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, March 24th
In case you missed Sunday's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here: Another day, another NYT Mini Crossword to solve. It's Monday, and to help us with our Monday blues, a puzzle or two is in order. Maybe more! But for now, let's figure out this one! The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it's free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you'll need the app to tackle the archive. Spoilers ahead! 1- 'Hey . . . wanna hear a secret?' — PSST 5- Spooky story? — ATTIC 7- Baby grand, for one — PIANO 8- Perfectly behaved child — ANGEL 9- Something to cram for — TEST 1- Letter between Oscar and Quebec in the NATO alphabet — PAPA 2- Period of work — STINT 3- 'All the world' per a famous line from Shakespeare — STAGE 4- Pointy parts of a fork — TINES 6- Indianapolis football player — COLT Today's Mini Screenshot: Erik Kain A somewhat tricky Mini today, especially with 5-Across. The play on words that gets you from Scary story to Attic is clever and definitely threw me for a loop. I was think stories in a book, not a building. Where I really tripped up though was with STINT when I accidentally typed in STITT by mistake and didn't realize it, really throwing off my game with 8-Across. I spaced the word TINES for a bit also, but ultimately got this one in 1:21. How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!
