Senate set to vote on Kennedy minimum wage bill
In Washington the Senate agreed to a Tuesday vote on Kennedy’s wage bill after a long, low-key debate. The measure would raise the hourly rate from 1.00 to 1.25, extending coverage to about 4 million workers in retail, services, and construction, with a House alternative at 1.15 and 12 million more covered. A Monroney amendment to exclude 1.6 million retail workers looms as a potential hurdle.
