City Proposes Fairer Raises for Low-Wage Workers | Texas News
Description
Austin’s city manager is rolling out a bold new budget amendment that could deliver bigger raises for the lowest-paid workers—offering either a 3% raise or $1,590, whichever’s greater. Backed by HR’s green light on minimal added cost and championed by unions like AFSCME Local 1624, this move aims to directly help 500–600 employees struggling with inflation and rising living expenses. With City Council voting next week, it’s shaping up as a fair, forward-thinking step toward true wage equity.
