Supporters of a $15 minimum wage ballot initiative in Florida argue the state's inflation-tied pay hikes have not gone far enough.
Personal-injury lawyer John Morgan has spent millions in a push to get a $15 per hour minimum wage measure on the ballot in swing state Florida in 2020.
Frustrated by the state government's inaction to raise the pay floor, John Morgan has pushed to get a $15 minimum wage measure on Florida's ballot in 2020. He has already gathered the 766,200 signatures needed to let voters decide whether to raise the wage next year. Now, the Orlando-based personal injury attorney waits on the state Supreme Court to decide if it ends up on the ballot in the battleground state.
The 63-year-old said he decided to pursue the minimum wage measure when considering what else made him "hurt" after the marijuana initiative's passage. People gather together to ask the McDonald’s corporation to raise workers wages to a $15 minimum wage as well as demanding the right to a union on May 23, 2019 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.Wage growth adjusted for inflation has picked up in recent months after a period of sluggishness. In August, real average hourly earnings rose 1.5% from the previous year, seasonally adjusted.
