By Friday, April 1, the minimum wage will raise to $13. It will gradually increase to $15 by 2025.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Good food and a chance to watch the big game: that's what people love about Wings Over Broadway."Local businesses don't have the support the large chains do," said Wings Over Broadway Owner, Ignacio Esquibel.

Esquibel is one of countless Tucson business owners who will be increasing the minimum wage for employees. The initiative was passed by voters in the November 2021 General Election. "I don't mind the minimum wage increase as far as the non-tipped employees," said Esquibel."My issue would be with the tipped employees because they get a wage increase also, but they can actively affect their own wages."

"Everyone needs a living wage. Raising the minimum wage, as inflation goes up, is just critical to our community, our businesses and our livelihood," said City of Tucson Business Services Deputy Director, Johanna Hernandez."Some of the concerns they have are the language in the proposition being kind of broad," said Hernandez."They are looking for specificity on how this will play out. We will be working to gain that clarity over time," said Hernandez.
