福克斯新闻 美加州达成协议最低时薪从10美元分阶段提至15美元

（单词翻译）

Two union sponsored ballot¹ initiatives were going to ask voters in November to increase minimum wage, but lawmakers and the governor said there's no need for that now, they reached a deal over the weekend to do it through the legislative² process instead.

两个联盟发起的投票倡议旨在要求选民在11月增加最低工资,但议员和州长表示现在并不需要,上周末这项协议终于达成并通过立法程序。

The wage will go up to $15 on a slower timeline than the ballot initiatives would've done. It won't hit $15 an hour until 2022.

协议同意分阶段将最低时薪从现行的10美元提高至2022年的15美元。

“It's necessary for people to live, to eat, to be comfortable.”

“这是解决人民生活所必需的吃饭问题,舒适生活。”

“I feel bad for people working hard, but small business are going to be hurt.”

“我为努力工作的人们感到伤心,但小型企业将受到伤害。”

Business groups aren't happy, they say this is an overreach that bows to the special interests and not the constituents³.

商业团体对此感到不悦,他们表示这是向特殊利益而非选民屈服。
