No minimum wage for now

 

Members from several worksites in downtown Sacramento make their voices heardA judge denied the Governor's legal request to immediately impose federal minimum wage on state workers - meaning that members will receive a full pay check on Aug. 1. The legal battle will continue next month.

Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Patrick Marlette said the technical issues raised by state Controller John Chiang merited a full hearing, most likely in August. Chiang has argued that the state's antiquated payroll system made it impossible for him to legally implement the governor's executive order for months.
