Saucon Source: Giant to Start Paying $9/Hr

According to Josh Popichak's report, this new starting wage will take effect in June. The current state and federal minimum wage is $7.25. Governor Wolf supports a bill that would increase the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour.

Locally, that bill has the support of Steve Samuelson, Mike Schlossberg, Dan McNeill, Peter Schweyer and Bob Freeman. It appears to have no support among Republicans.
