Please slow down this process and take the time to get the details right. Gov. Brown just announced this minimum wage plan on Monday, and this plan wouldn’t start to raise wages until January 2017, so what’s the rush?
Just a few months after a statewide minimum wage increase to $10 per hour, the state is now considering raising it to $15 per hour by 2022 with no input from the employers — especially small, mom and pop businesses — who will be most affected. Details matter, especially for legislation of this magnitude that will affect virtually every California household.
Employers will shoulder the brunt of this policy, and they deserve a reasonable opportunity to be part of the process. Instead of jamming through a bill that could have dramatic economic consequences, slow down and get it right.
