Ho-Chunk sets $10-an-hour minimum wage for its employees

The Ho-Chunk Nation has decided to set a $10-an-hour minimum wage for employees of its enterprises.

The $10 minimum will take effect this July. It will apply to the 3,500 people who work for the tribe and its businesses.

In a statement, tribe president Jon Greendeer said the move will benefit both employer and employees. "The cost is high but the return is much greater," Greendeer said.
