Response to Gov't Min Wage Announcement

Statement from the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour on the minimum wage:

Despite self-applauding government press releases, working people are falling behind due to Scott Moe. On October 1^st, the Saskatchewan minimum wage will remain the lowest wage in Canada, thanks to Scott Moe.

Further, since Scott Moe became premier, the average wage (adjusted for inflation) has decreased by nearly 6 per cent. Over that same time, real wages have increased by 18 per cent in Manitoba.
