Delaware lawmakers introduced a bill late Tuesday to gradually raise the state s minimum wage to $15 an hour, heeding the growing call for the pay increase that neighboring states have already implemented.
But the COVID-19 pandemic has only bolstered opposition from Delaware s business-friendly community, which has prevailed in stopping such an increase in the past.
Democrats have tried and failed for several years to move the state toward a $15 minimum wage. And like last session s unsuccessful bill, this bill filed on Tuesday would gradually raise the minimum wage from its current rate of $9.25 to $15 by 2025.
Advocates said much has changed since last year, and not just because of the virus.
“The industry is reeling due to limited capacities and closures due to COVID,” Briccotto said. “There are several other ways they could be helping us that are far more of a priority.”
Briccotto has volunteered for Delaware political campaigns for both parties in the past, he said. He also previously held the position of “community engagement coordinator” with Highway One, a job that was eliminated when the pandemic began, he said.
Others who work for tips expressed concerns similar to Briccotto s to Delaware Online/The News Journal. A petition Briccotto started asking legislators to Say NO 2 HB94” had more than 600 signatures as of Feb. 25.
