Minnesota Chamber of Commerce Suing Minneapolis Over Promise to Raise Minimum Wage

The lawsuit accuses the city for violating existing state laws

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce is suing the city of Minneapolis for promising to raise the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour by 2024.

The lawsuit accuses the city for violating existing state laws.

The Chamber’s president says too many local laws like these put a burden on companies with locations in multiple cities.

A City Attorney says they will defend their case like they did when the Chamber sued for a sick time ordinance.
