There are a number of independent influencing factors to this discussion unions, market value, competitiveness, inflation, right to work and federal government interferences/regulations.
The topic is minimum wage. Minimum wage suggests that people are automatically entitled to a certain amount and ignores the value of a specific job to a company. Federal law dictates to a business owner what s/he will pay a worker vis a vis the market. The market is a better indicator than government.
