Proposal seeks $30 minimum wage in Alameda County
A group of workers and leaders from the Alameda County community and labor movement Thursday plans to formally announce that they are filing a new ballot initiative campaign.
The coalition wants Alameda County voters to pass a law that would raise the countywide minimum wage to $30 an hour.
Large businesses with more than 100 employees and $100 million in revenue would be required to pay a $30-an-hour minimum wage by 2030. Smaller businesses with fewer than 25 workers would have 10 years to reach that benchmark.
The countywide minimum wage currently stands at about $16 an hour
