 Part of a national campaign to raise the minimum wage for all workers to $15 an hour in at least 15 states, Ohio is one of four target states this year, and the plan called for phasing in increases for jobs that traditionally rely on tips, like bartenders and waitstaff. Bar and restaurant owners opposed the measure, insisting that staff would end up making less money. Ohio organizers say they will try to put the issue on the ballot in 2025.
