The Ohio Restaurant & Hospitality Alliance opposes raising the minimum wage — arguing it would hurt tipped workers.
While Ohio recently raised the minimum wage, it's one of many states still paying young workers less.
The increases are the consequence of a constitutional amendment passed by Ohio voters in 2006 that ties minimum wages to the Consumer Price Index — the federal government’s index of inflation.
Senate Bill 146 would gradually raise the minimum wage one dollar each year until it was up to $15.
A proposal to raise Ohio’s minimum wage to $15 an hour cleared another hurdle Monday on its way to the statewide ballot.
