Several speakers, including Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant, joined the workers in calling for increased wages, full staffing, and an end to cuts in employee hours.
KIRO 7 spoke to one longtime PCC employee who said she’s never had a merit raise in her 16-year career — and that the company uses a bogus employee review process to make sure it stays that way.

PCC is proud to partner with UFCW Local 3000.
