Seattle considers changes to police hiring tests and gig delivery worker pay

Season 3 Episode 9

Seattle's Police Department is having a hard time bringing in new recruits, so the city council is considering moving to an easier test for job applicants as one possible fix. Erica says that's the wrong solution and Sandeep disagrees. Plus, the podcast debates a proposal to scale back a pay increase for delivery drivers that was passed by the last, more progressive city council.
