The minimum wage is literally a Democratic Party plank. When I wake up I expect to see heads exploding. The timing is perfect for Clinton's campaign. There is literally not extra effort she has to expend since raising the minimum wage has been a Democratic Party plank forever. Ted Kennedy and Ron Wyden wanted to make it perpetually linked to inflation (it'd be like $20 now) but it didn't pass under Bill Clinton.

"Pressure?" Clinton's campaign likely invites a minimum wage increase. It's literally the softest position any Democrat can hold. It's been in the platform for decades. There will be no question. Hell, one might even argue the MSM is throwing a softball here. Clinton will come out for it no matter what. It's literally required to be a Democrat.

increase?

Actually, we already have a big clue- a gradual raise of the federal to 10.10 an hour over 3 years

It's hilariously absurd.

I require links, btw.

while in the Senate. FIVE TIMES

$15 an hour over three years. It is currently $9.25 and tied to inflation, that $10.10 for us is hardly worth the trouble and would not be a huge change.
So it is worth noting that AFL-CIO has yet to endorse the initiative or a specific bill in the legislature, because they say they are still determining the best timing of the raises and sustainable sizes of the wage hikes.
In short, organized labor's approach to our current process is very similar to the one you seem to be dinging Clinton for. Clinton who repeatedly sought minimum wage increases in the Senate. AFL-CIO has endorsed $10.10. Still pondering $15 here in Oregon. This suggests that a judicious approach is favored by labor over a rush to a position. They want to see what comes out of the Statehouse.

Adding what is literally yesterday's news:

Bill Clinton was behind it but it simply didn't pass under the conservative congress. If it passed, we'd be looking at a $20+ minimum wage at this point. This was all in the 90s btw, just trying to provide some historical context. They tried to link the wage to inflation, and they didn't get the votes, it sucks.

I see a large gap between the people who are actually and actively involved in labor issues and those who adopt labor lingo as part of their situational electoral agenda.

The highest the minimum wage has been (taking account inflation) was $1.60 in 1968 which is equivalent to
$10.79 in 2015.
