Local employer speaks on minimum wage roll-back for youth employees
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Yesterday, Premier Jason Kenney announced the governments plan for Bill 2 or the Open for Business Act.
If passed, youth employees under the age of 18 would see their hourly wage decrease from $15 an hour to $13 an hour.
Before the Alberta NDP announced their plans to increase minimum wage to $15 an hour in 2018, Dan Hamilton at the Dunmore Dugout says he was probably one of the biggest youth-employers in the area.
