Harris unveils support for $15 minimum wage after slamming Trump's McDonald's visit

1. Here in CA, the min wage is $16 per hour, and there is a state ballot measure

that would raise it to $17 beginning Jan 1, 2025, and $18 in 2026.

This is for EVERYONE. Not just those with "businesses of at least 20 employees" or whatever that number is this time. However, larger businesses would go to $18 almost immediately (Jan 1, 2025) while the rest would happen by 2026.

I believe it is called Prop 32.

If passed, nearly 2 million workers would stand to make an extra $3,000 annually, in theory, providing a significant boost to their livelihoods, according to Sanberg.

The proposal came after other minimum wage laws were changed in the state.

Last year, unions secured a $25 an hour rate for healthcare workers, and this year, fast-food workers saw a wage increase to $20 per hour. Some cities, like Berkeley and San Francisco, have already moved ahead of the state's $16 an hour minimum rate to pay more than $18 an hour.

Obviously, I voted YES on it.
