FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - The question of whether or not to raise the minimum wage in California will be on the ballot in November as Proposition 32. YourCentralValley.com has put together a guide to help voters understand the potential effects of a vote either for or against Proposition 32. A vote in favor of Proposition 32 would raise the minimum wage for any business with 26 or more employees to $17 an hour and raise it once more to $18 an hour starting January 1, 2025. But what does that mean? According to the official voter information guide, no supporters for Proposition 32 have been officially submitted, but the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Restaurant Association, and the California Grocers Association all oppose Prop 32. According to the voters' guide, a no vote would mean the state minimum wage would likely be about $17 in 2026 and go up each year depending on how fast prices go up. But those arguing in favor of Prop 32 say Californians don't have time to wait. We can all agree that Californians who work hard, working full time or more, should not live in poverty. But that's exactly how millions of Californians are living because their wages are too low to afford how expensive life has become in California. Anti-Poverty Advocate, Joe Sanberg In the argument for Prop 32 as published by the Secretary of State's Office, Sanberg also says it's wrong for some corporations to pay such low wages that workers are left needing taxpayer-funded aid. "Taxpayers should not be subsidizing some corporations that choose to pay extremely low wages," Sanberg said. "Enabling them to keep the rest as excess profit for their owners." Corporate greed is one thing that Sanberg and his opposition agree on, but those who oppose Prop 32 don't think raising the minimum wage is the answer. Those against Prop 32 say raising the minimum wage will hurt small and family-owned businesses, increase prices for Californians, and jeopardizes funding for public safety and education. According those against the proposition, raising the minimum wage would also leave Californians paying higher taxes, cost state and local governments billions of dollars each year, and hurt the very people the bill is supposed to help. Ballot measures shouldn't be toys for multimillionaires. One person alone—a multimillionaire—is behind Prop 32. One person alone wrote Prop. 32, spent millions getting it on the ballot, and wrote the argument for Prop. 32. Small business and working family advocates don't want prop. 32 Jot Condie, California Restaurant Association President; Jennifer Barrera, California Chamber of Commerce President; and Ron Fong, California Grocers Association President Ultimately the power rests in the hands of voters. Election day is Nov. 5.
