Video of work session meeting: https://fortworthgov.granicus.com/player/clip/5521?view_id=9&redirect=true The City of Fort Worth is considering raising the minimum wage from $15.45 per hour to $20.00 per hour for city employees while putting together the budget for FY2025. The wage increase to $20/hr is being championed by District 6 Fort Worth City Councilmember Dr. Jared Williams. We need all of council to support!

There was an informal report presented during the 05/07 City Council work session by the Human Resources department about employee wages. The informal report made a recommendation that the city supports an increase to only $16.07 per hour. The report states that “the City does not support a higher wage rate at this time nor does HR support a phased approach.”
