Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to Seattle Minimum Wage Law
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a challenge by business groups to Seattle’s law raising its minimum wage to $15 an hour, a move echoed by other locales, in a case focusing on how the ordinance affected local franchises like McDonald’s, reports Reuters.
The high court action left intact a lower court ruling backing the measure.
Reuters says supporters of the wage raise see the ruling as a defeat for “the big business lobby” that has taken aim at minimum wage hikes.
