Nevada minimum wage proposal pits unions against restaurant group

Associated Press: A proposal on the November ballot to increase Nevada's minimum wage by $1 an hour has pitted union groups against the Nevada Restaurant Association, which says it will hurt businesses and consumers.

 

D. Taylor, secretary-treasurer of Culinary Local 226, a major backer of the referendum along with the Nevada State AFL-CIO, said he felt confident that Nevadans would vote to put the increase into the state's constitution.
