California and New York governors sign wage increase into law
California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill raising the state minimum wage from 10 to 15 dollars an hour by 2023, aiming to help working poor and set the pace for higher pay. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a plan to lift the wage to 15 in New York City and surrounding areas, with other parts rising to 12.50 within five years. Brown’s move curbs ballot initiatives and allows legislative amendments if needed, while critics say the measure could burden small businesses in poorer regions.

Supreme Court rejects Wal-Mart and Wells Fargo appeals
The Supreme Court declined to hear class action challenges from Wal-Mart and Wells Fargo, leaving intact a 2014 Pennsylvania decision awarding Wal-Mart workers in PA about 187 million dollars for pay and breaks and a 2014 Ninth Circuit ruling upholding a 203 million dollar overdraft fee judgment against Wells Fargo. The cases were part of ongoing high court scrutiny of class action lawsuits.
