Protesters Gather Over Wages
Small group gathers at Sen. Sinima’s office in Phx to demand $15 federal minimum wage. Senate recently voted against adding this to $1.9trillion stimulus bill. Pres. Biden promised to enact.
One protester said this to AZ Republic, "I was hosting (Tuesday) and I went home with $4. I went home and cried myself to sleep,"; she said tips are less, less guests and people get mad over masks! (Jeff relates story of his own)
Protestors are demanding $15 min wage but how does that help them keep their jobs if there’s less business and owner can’t afford?
Wages at a glance: State $12.15, tipped workers $3 less, Federal $7.25, tipped $2.13. 29 states higher than Fed$.
