Divorce Continued From Page One Proposes Higher Minimums
The plan by Governor Curtis would raise the state minimum wage from 1.25 to 1.40 per hour next October and to 1.60 by mid October 1968. Nursing home workers would reach 1.60 a year later. Senate bills seek to limit the Employment Security Commission from denying unemployment benefits when it would enforce a federal unfair labor practice. Rep. Reta Baker proposes paying unused sick leave to retiring or deceased employees or survivors, with a tiered percentage based on years of service, requiring a 500000 appropriation.
