On Monday, Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma signed into law a bill which prohibited localities within the state from establishing minimum wage, vacation, and sick-day requirements. The bill had passed the House last Tuesday where supporters were saying that it is aimed at preventing many different minimum wages across the state. Some say that the bill specifically targeted Oklahoma City where there is currently a drive to raise the city?s minimum wage to $10.10 per hour. There is an initiative already underway to bring the new state law to a statewide vote, which will require collecting 80,000 signatures.
