Key Issues in Arizona

Minimum Wage

There is no state minimum wage law in Arizona. The only minimum wage requirement in the state is the federal law establishing a $5.15 minimum wage. But union activists, together with members of the community, are campaigning for an initiative to be added to the ballot this year to raise the minimum wage to $6.75.

On June 26, a coalition led by the AFL-CIO filed petitions with more than 209,000 voter signatures—well over the 123,000 signatures necessary to place the “Raise the Minimum Wage for Working Arizonans Act” on the 2006 General Election ballot.

Learn more about the campaign to raise the minimum wage in Arizona and how you can help.
