Wage and Hour Bill Seen Likely To Pass This Week
Washington June 15 The wage and hour bill is expected to clear both chambers this week in a compromise between House and Senate forms. It sets a uniform minimum wage, 25 cents an hour first year, 30 cents second year, rising to 40 cents after seven years, with no regional rate. The bill allows “relevant factors” like transportation and living costs to offset regional discrimination. An administrator in Labor will oversee industry committees, possibly 300 to 500, each with representatives of the public workers and employers, who will recommend the highest minimum to the administrator.
