On the 15th of every month, supporters of a higher minimum wage have gathered in Concord to hold signs asking passing cars to honk in support.
The group often meets in front of the Wendy’s or McDonald’s on Loudon Road, but does not target those specific businesses. On Thursday, David Holt of Somersworth, a State Employees’ Association of New Hampshire staffer, was one of those standing on the sidewalk.
“The SEA supports a fair and living wage, and that’s what the fight for 15 is,” he said.
New Hampshire abides by the federal minimum wage law which is currently $7.25 per hour.
