Katelynn Hudson started working at a fast-casual restaurant when she was 18 years old. It was her income as she tried to get herself through school, but minimum wage was not enough for her daily needs.“I was not able to afford food for myself," she says. "I could not pay my rent, I couldn’t pay bus fare. It was very difficult, and if I couldn’t provide for myself. I wouldn’t be able to provide for a family."Hudson now has a 2-and-a-half-year-old son, and she says she wouldn’t be able to support him if it wasn’t for a recent change in her pay. Illegal Pete’s in Denver, Colorado has raised its minimum wage from to within the past three and a half years, transforming that minimum wage into a living wage.“It covers lodging, food, paid time off, education, savings, basically the ability to pay one job and plan for the future,” Illegal Pete’s owner Pete Turner said.However, it doesn’t come without a cost. “The biggest challenge is an immediate hit to your expense line, to your payroll line,” Turner said.Turner says the last time he raised employee pay it cost him about million. However, he sees it as an investment. The idea is to create a productive work environment, where people are more committed to the customer and the company. Pete says he’s saving money by not having excessive employee turnover.“The rule of thumb for losing a front-line worker and then having to rehire and retrain is like ,500 to ,500 an employee,” he says.Growing in store count and store volume with workers who stay, Turner says his decision to raise minimum wage has been worth it so far. But he does admit it hasn’t been easy. And for some small business owners, the idea while appealing, seems unrealistic.“Everyone, I think, can agree that the minimum wage [needs] to be higher," says business owner Erika Righter. "However, in order for that to work, people need to then prioritize shopping locally."Righter is the founder of Hope Tank in Denver. Everything the store sells is connected to a local grassroots organization, giving Righter a lot of experience with small businesses.She says she would love to pay her workers more, but she thinks there’s a disconnect between the priorities of community and the way people spend their dollars.“I think you can’t shop Amazon all the time, and want the minimum wage raised,” she says.According to Righter, many local businesses pay their employees before themselves. She says there simply isn’t enough profit to pay them more, making an increase in minimum wage a bit of a concern.“As the owner, I struggle to stay above water financially myself,” Righter says.Robel Worku works for Colorado People’s Alliance, an organization that fights for justice in economic issues.“I think the argument is that if those costs go up, it’s harder to keep their doors open,” Worku said.Worku says COPA was recently able to help get a Colorado bill passed that gives authority to local governments to increase minimum wages.“The federal minimum wage has stayed stagnant at around .25 for the past 10 or so years, and even beyond that hasn’t raised much within the past few decades,” Worku said.Numbers from the U.S. Department of Labor show there was a steady increase in minimum wage from 2007 to 2009, raising it by a .40, but there hasn’t been a raise since. And before that, the last raise was 10 years prior in 1997. Worku says his organization believes everyone should be afforded the right to earn a livable wage, which is around per hour in Denver, Colorado. However, he understands that number changes from city to city, making it difficult to assess a specific amount for the federal minimum wage.“I don’t know if there’s like a gold-standard number in mind, but one of the reasons we’re excited about the local wage option legislation is that it allows local governments to make those decisions for themselves,” Worku said.So far, Worku says places that have raised minimum wage like Seattle and Chicago have seen an economic boost in the local economy. “So for instance, if you run a restaurant or a bar, you rely on folks having a disposable income to be able to come spend,” he explained. For Hudson, having a disposable income is a new comfort in her life. She says she’s very happy she can provide for her son and that money isn’t a giant cause of stress anymore.“This is the first time in my life I have seen stability, and that’s really amazing for me to think of,” Hudson said. 4457

LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas tennis instructor filed a lawsuit in federal court on Thursday accusing a Nevada country club of firing her because of her biracial daughters.Lawyers for Carmel Mary-Hill say they've been negotiating a settlement with Red Rock Country Club after the club allegedly discriminated against the tennis pro based on race.But, after feeling like the country club blew off her claims, Mary-Hill says she had no choice but to file the explosive 30-page lawsuit.In it, she accuses Red Rock Country Club of firing her after a member complained about her biracial daughters attending an annual tennis tournament."I’m OK with them attacking me because I’m in adult and I can handle it, even though it hurts me. But when you attack a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old because they are mixed, that’s not OK with me," Mary-Hill said.Mary-Hill also claims her daughters were denied from Red Rock's daycare while her white coworkers were allowed to drop off their children at the same facility."Attitudes and people change. We’re talking about two little kids here and I don’t understand how people can be racist. It’s not normal," she said.Mary-Hill says not only was she fired from Red Rock Country Club, but she was banned from ever coming back after filing a complaint with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission, or NERC.NERC and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission both found probable cause for discrimination and retaliation charges against Red Rock Country Club. Neither opted to take legal action, but the EEOC issued a "notice of right to sue," which opened the door for Mary-Hill to take action."It’s definitely going to help because the Nevada Equal Rights Commission did its own investigation and after doing the investigation, which took about two years, they concluded that there was probable cause of race discrimination and retaliation against my client," said F. Travis Buchanan, Mary-Hill's attorney.Mary-Hill says she's denied her daughters the opportunity to go back to Red Rock Country Club. She claims her former boss told her that her daughters could come to the club, just not with their mother."He said, 'You can drop your child off and let them play the tournament,' and I’m like, 'Why would I drop my kids off at a place that was racist to them and me?' I’m not putting my daughter in that situation," Mary-Hill said.Mary-Hill says perhaps the hardest part of that decision was having to explain it to her daughters."My 8-year-old is like, 'Why can’t I go to the tournament? Other kids are playing at Red Rock.' Because I’m not allowed to go there," Mary-Hill said.Mary-Hill is now hoping this lawsuit will lead to institutional change when it comes to how Red Rock Country Club views race."This was never about money. This was making sure that nobody else goes through what I went through at Red Rock and that they are held accountable for what they did," she said.The lawsuit says Mary-Hill is seeking full front and back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, and full legal fees.KTNV reached out multiple times to Red Rock management on Thursday but did not hear back.This story was originally published by 3157
