Minneapolis Workers Call for Vote on $15 Minimum Wage
On Wednesday in Minnesota, a petition will be delivered to the Minneapolis City Hall in an effort to increase the city's minimum wage to $15 an hour. The petition, which has approximately 20,000 signatures, was created by organizers from the group 15 Now Minnesota. The amendment is supposed to appear on the November 8th ballot. Members of the labor group collected over three times the number of signatures required to have wage vote listed on the ballot. If the wage increase is approved, Minneapolis will become one of over 30 cities to greatly increase its minimum wage.
