The minimum wage just went up to $10.10 on January 1.

But the big news is the court case- which the Judge ruled that the wage in Michigan will rise to $13.something on February 19. (If you have been following- that’s a court case from the screwing we got by republicans in 2018. )

So everybody is waiting to see what happens when the February rise kicks in- because that will be the big one for tipped employees. We have to see how that impacts for a few months before deciding if going to $15 is worth the effort and political force that will be needed.

Ask again in six months. We might be ready to hold sone hearings by then.
