House Kills Automatic Increase in Minimum Wage Bill
The House defeated the indexing provision 223 to 193 while approving a bill to raise the minimum wage from $2.30 to $2.65 next year. An amendment with fixed steps to $2.85 in 1979 and $3.05 in 1980 passed 222 to 193, as Rep. John Erlenborn argued indexing fuels inflation and upswings. Rep. Albert Quie and House leaders argued over inflation protection for low earners.
