Minimum Wage to Rise for 860,000 Americans
==========
The Michigan Supreme Court has voted to restore minimum wage and sick leave laws that were reversed in 2018; the state's minimum wage for regular and tipped workers will rise to $12 per hour next year. In 2018, a petition to increase the minimum wage and require small businesses to provide paid sick leave collected over 280,000 signatures. The Republican-led state legislature approved the initiative but later watered down the content of the bills. The court ruled that it was unconstitutional for the legislature to pass the bills only to undermine them soon after. The decision will allow Michigan's minimum wage to increase to $12 by next February. Business groups in the state are unhappy with the ruling, claiming it will have negative effects on employers. The nonprofit One Fair Wage, which was behind the 2018 ballot initiative, called the ruling a victory for workers.
