Court orders Glendale to process ballot measure to raise hospitality workers' minimum wage
A Maricopa County Superior Court judge ordered Glendale to finish processing a proposed ballot measure that would give hospitality workers a $20-an-hour minimum wage if voters approve it in November.
It’s a ruling that the city intends to challenge by appealing it to the state’s highest court, a Glendale spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.
The city has five days from Monday to file the appeal through an expedited process the state allows in election-related cases.
The move to appeal comes a day after Superior Court Judge Scott McCoy rejected the city’s single-subject argument for denying the voter initiative that the labor union Worker Power submitted last month. He found that the provisions outlined in the group's measure legitimately dealt with one issue.
