Wisconsinites push for minimum wage increase
By AP author article
MADISON, Wis. - For 26-year-old Olivia McKnight, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would transform her life.
As a full-time Popeyes employee in Milwaukee, McKnight makes $10 an hour. This isn’t nearly enough to support herself and her three children. She also works a second job. The long work hours have forced her to miss out on time spent with her children, including holidays and key life moments.
For 29-year-old James Rudd, who earns more than $15 an hour now, he is finally able to pay for the things he needs. And he now fights for all workers in Wisconsin to reach at least $15 an hour.

Rudd is fighting to double the minimum wage in Wisconsin from $7.25 per hour to $15 per hour. Rudd says he now makes more than $15 an hour and thinks everyone should make at least that. Fifteen dollars is just a start. We want to take vacations. We want to be able to live the American dream, he says. (Isaac Wasserman/Wisconsin Watch via AP)Isaac Wasserman/APShow MoreShow Less
