St. Louis Mayor Slay pushes for $15 per hour living wage
After a two-year campaign and lots of great organizing by Show Me 15 St. Louis and others, St. Louis Mayor Francis G. Slay publicly announced his support of a $15 an hour living wage and a plan to bring the proposal to the City Council for consideration.
If successful, St. Louis would become the first non-coastal city in the nation to embrace a $15 per hour living wage. The city’s Aldermen are expected to be presented with the plan on Friday, June 5.
