Great news out of the scenic state. Earlier this year, the Minneapolis City Council blocked a $15 minimum wage charter amendment from the November ballot. A Judge ruled against this in August. So this November, citizens will have the power to determine their economic fates.
Like most Fight for $15 victories, the raises will be gradual - $10 in 2017, then $15 by 2020. The minimum wage in other first world nations, like Australia, are $17.70 as it has kept in pace with inflation. This is one step in the right direction. Several states have already indexed their minimum wage to the inflation rate.
Lead the way North Star!
