Alameda County Pushes $30 Minimum Wage | Oakland News

Alameda County is poised to put a bold $30 minimum wage ballot measure on the November ballot, targeting unincorporated areas with phased implementation—big businesses hit by 2030, smaller ones given more time. Advocates argue it’s long overdue for workers in a wealthy county who can’t afford to live on current wages, while also cracking down on wage theft. The county registrar will verify signatures soon, and Oakland’s similar effort remains uncertain. Critics warn of economic fallout, but voters will decide whether this ambitious wage hike is worth the risk. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
