Two groups are seeking hike in Arizona's minimum wage.

Five Fifteen Isn't Working is working for a state constitutional amendment to implement a $5.95 Arizona minimum wage, beginning in July 2007, rising to $6.75 on July 1, 2008. The group needs to gather more than 180,000 signatures of registered voters by next July to qualify for the November 2006 ballot.

Arizona Minimum Wage Coalition, which includes labor unions, community activists and religious leaders, is the second group seeking for the minimum wage hike. It would need to submit signatures from at least 122,612 registered voters by July 6 to qualify the proposed "Raise the Minimum Wage for Working Arizonans Act" for the November 2006 ballot.

Once approved, the $6.75 minimum wage would take effect in 2007. The wage would be adjusted once each year according to cost-of-living index.

Farrell Quinlan, a spokesman for the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, points out that the measures will face strong opposition from the business community.
