Divided Federal Court Overturns Biden's $15 Minimum Wage Order for Contractors
Nov 5, 2024, 08:42 PM
President Joe Biden's 2021 order raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour for millions of employees of U.S. government contractors was overturned Tuesday by a divided federal appeals court. The court ruled that Biden lacked the authority to impose the mandate, stating it was not authorized by federal law. The decision was influenced by a lawsuit brought by Arizona, although the state abandoned the claim after Attorney General Mark Brnovich left office and was replaced by Kris Mayes. Trump-appointed judges were among those who ruled against the mandate. The ruling highlights the ongoing debate over federal authority in setting wage standards.
