We would be honored to pay more for whatever is necessary to raise the minimum pay to $15. Florida should be commended.
That being said I owed a small Copy Machine & Fax Machine Sales & Service company about 30ish years ago and as an owner, if I was required to raise someone's pay then they would have to step up their game and earn it. No more day off for a day at the beach and leaving me holding the bag. I wouldn't mind paying them even more if they were worth it. Changing the Minimum Wage during a Pandemic may not be the best timing. When would be the best timing? Progress is never easy.
