By
Sebastien Malo NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York moved on Wednesday to
raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $15 an hour by the end
of 2018 in New York City and by mid-2021 in the rest of the state. The
New York Wage Board voted unanimously for the increase, which would

locations or more in the United States. The three-member board was
formed at the behest of Governor Andrew Cuomo in May after the state
legislature turned down his proposals for minimum wage increases for
most workers.Read More ...
