(Sept. 16, 2016) The Puget Sound Business Journal recently published an editorial highlighting the legal problems with Initiative 124, the Seattle initiative that seeks to regulate hotel safety practices.  Of particular concerns to the PSBJ editors are the union exemptions and privacy and due process problems that would come with the blacklisting of guests accused of harassment.
