Michigan legislators have until next week to intervene before the next increase in the minimum wage

Lansing, Mich. (CBS Detroit) – Michigan’s minimum wage will increase by approximately $ 2 from next week, but legislators seek to delay that change.

Michigan’s minimum wage increases incrementarly in the coming years. Earlier this year, Chamber legislators approved two bills that would slow down those increases, but the bills have not moved much in the Senate.

“They are really working, the Senate Democrats for the great union leaders. That is what they are doing when they do not take action with a minimum illness or the minimum wage,” said the House of Representatives Chamber Matt Hall.

Dave Woodward, main advisor to a just salary in Michigan, feels that the accusation is unfair.

“That is unpleasant,” Woodward said. “He is the one who went to his teammates from the members of the house of the house last year, did not appear at work. Everyone is paid. Everyone has paid the disease time. And the agallero has to move away the salaries of the salaries of the working people “.

If legislators cannot reach an agreement and intervene, the minimum wage in Michigan will increase from $ 10.56 on February 21, a change that Hall warned would be bad for business.

“(The workers) are going to see that their work will disappear, they will lose their jobs because the businesses for those who work and their employers will close,” he said.

Hall encouraged Senate Democrats to agree with the plans that would slow down the minimum salary increases and preserve the inclined salary.

“We are talking about workers who will have to choose to go to work with the flu and serve the hamburger and fries, or be able to stay at home and recover,” Woodward said. “It is very the other way around. It is very out of synchronization with the voters. And I firmly believe that if they succeed, the voters will take responsibility.”
