Everyone hates Sacramento's minimum wage deal

Labor and business groups disavow support

Sacramento's universally panned minimum-wage bargain continues to fall apart.

On Monday, a pro-business coalition called Keep Sacramento Working said it now opposes any raise for city workers, after reluctantly supporting a five-year march to $12.50 an hour that came with many loopholes for restaurants and other employers.

The disavowal comes after a pro-labor group called Unite Here announced it would seek a ballot measure raising wages to $15 an hour for workers employed in the downtown arena district.

The Sacramento City Council is still tentatively set to consider the $12.50 proposal from its Task Force on Income Inequality on October 27. But with everyone involved in that process washing their hands of it, it's hard to think the council won't, too.
