Maine lawmakers have voted to move forward with a measure to establish a minimum wage for the state’s farmworkers.
It has passed the house 72-70 and now the bill will face votes in the Senate.
The bill would require agricultural workers to be paid at least $14.15 an hour. They currently fall under the federal wage salary of $7.25 per hour.
