Fight for $15 had a couple big wins over the last month. First, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey shared its plan to vote on a minimum wage increase to $19 an hour. Then Jeff Bezos announced he’ll be raising Amazon’s minimum wage to $15. Employees can expect to start seeing the increase on November 1st. Also expected in November, Arkansas voters will decide whether or not to raise their state’s minimum wage to $11. But of course, even after voters weigh in on it, lawmakers still have to see it through – which isn’t always the case. Just ask tipped employees in D.C.
