The U.S. Senate is expected to vote today on whether to end debate and bring up a clean minimum wage increase bill for a vote without attaching tax break strings for business. Tax break bills for business never have automatic minimum wage hikes attached, but George W. Bush and some Republicans want to hold the minimum wage increase hostage to more tax breaks for business. Organized labor wants a “clean” minimum wage increase with no more tax breaks attached.
