The article details the experience of two employees, one who makes $7.25 an hour working as a fast food cook and the other who makes $2.10 per hour as an airport skycap. Both JFK and LaGuardia have agreed to the $15 wage, but the Port Authority board voted against the raise for Newark. Workers are hoping that whoever ends up being the next NJ governor will help to create a comprehensive minimum wage plan that will help all workers.
