Citywide minimum wage hike fails in Evanston City Council
Evanston City Council voted against a proposal to increase the minimum wage citywide, according to a report by the Chicago Tribune. The measure was intended to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022.
During the heated debate, Alderman Cicely Fleming argued that the increase was necessary to help low-wage workers in the city. However, the majority of council members voted against the proposal, citing concerns about potential job losses and economic impact.
This decision comes as cities across the country grapple with the issue of income inequality and economic disparity. While some argue that raising the minimum wage would benefit workers and stimulate the local economy, others believe that it could harm businesses and lead to job losses.
Despite the setback, supporters of the minimum wage increase have vowed to continue pushing for higher wages for all workers in Evanston. France A. Nightengale is one of those supporting the measure and believes that the fight is far from over.
