California voters have rejected Prop 32, which would have raised the state’s minimum wage from $16 to $18.
With 100% of the ballots tallied, the measure was rejected by a 0.8% margin (50.8 - 49.2), according to the California Secretary of State’s office. The total vote difference for the proposition was 234,146.
I work in the trades, in a deeply red state.
There are a few against it but for the most part people I work with support a minimum wage raise.
I work with some shitty people but don’t put that evil on us.
