Federal wage on contracts, Corporate owned McDOnald's (not the franchisees), Coscto, even some of the big box stores.
Several states already have higher minimum wage already. One of the banks is raising pay to $25 by 25. Even Manchin's constituents in WV want increased minimum wage. It's coming, albeit under duress and with all the same lies about economic collapse.

Sorry. When the CEOs have a billion, then the employees should make a liveable wage.
