Gwinnett Commissioner Kirkland Carden pushing $15/hour minimum wage for library workers
A Gwinnett County commissioner is calling on residents to attend a county budget public hearing next week and demand his colleagues raise the minimum wage paid to library workers to at least $15 per hour.
Commissioner Kirkland Carden issued that call for public backing of the higher pay on Thursday. The Board of Commissioners is set to hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. on Monday at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center to give residents a chance to weigh in on the proposed $2.06 billion 2022 county budget.
