Trump nixes $17.75 minimum wage for federal contractors adopted by Biden

President Donald Trump revoked a minimum wage increase for federal contractors that was set at $17.75 per hour, which was implemented by former President Joe Biden.
The Trump administration's order removes policies improving workplace conditions, such as minimum wage increases for federal contract labor.
The Service Employees International Union stated that Trump's policy would 'open the door to roll back wages,' which affects many low-wage service job workers.
By rescinding Biden's wage increase, Trump aims to 'restore common sense' and 'unleash the potential of American citizens,' impacting over 300,000 workers.
