MINIMUM WAGE TO INCREASE JANUARY 1

Released on November 27, 1998

Labour Minister Joanne Crofford today announced that the Saskatchewan

minimum wage will increase by 40 cents per hour to $6.00, effective

January 1, 1999.



"Increasing the minimum wage will help our lowest paid members of the

work force," Crofford said. "Most other workers, whether or not they

are covered by collective agreements, generally receive some form of

regular pay increase. It's time to provide a pay increase to the

lowest paid, and in many cases, hardest working people in our economy.



"The Government of Saskatchewan is sympathetic to the economic demands

placed on low-income earning families. This increase will put

additional money into their hands and will also benefit the economy as

a whole by increasing the spending power of thousands of Saskatchewan

people."
