One thing that I did not see mentioned in the thread or in the article was the human side of things, we don't want to lose site of the fact that we are talking about human beings who need to get a living wage. I am not saying economic issues don't weigh in, but also there is just a moral factor that I think should always be included in these types of discussion. I live in Seattle and, at least most of the people I know, see that as a significant consideration.
