Proponents: raising Tucson’s min wage to $15 about offering living wage

The group Tucson Fight for $15 is leading the charge.
by Kassandra Lau

In November, voters in Tucson will decide if minimum wage workers in the city deserve a raise. The Tucson Minimum Wage Act would see it gradually increase from $12.15 to $15 by 2025. The group Tucson Fight for $15 is leading the charge to get it passed. Campaign manager C.J. Boyd explained how the proposition also includes added protections for workers to address issues like wage theft and access to employer benefits.
