San Leandro $15 Minimum Wage Proposal

San Leandro’s minimum wage will be an action item on the Tuesday, July 5th at 7 PM Council meeting calendar. If it gets four votes it will go on the Council consent calendar on Monday July 18th. We need large turnouts at both Council meetings. We need to get as many people as we can to speak in favor of San Leandro increasing our minimum wage, before the State’s increase.   Vice Mayor Jim Prola’s proposal are $12 by July 2017, and then a dollar a year until it reaches $15 July 2020 for both large and small businesses, which are two to three years sooner than the State’s 2022/23. Under the State’s minimum wage the Governor could delay it till 2024/25.

Large turnouts are critical to get passage at both meetings with at least four votes.
