Tampa lighting firm raises its minimum wage to $20 per hour

TAMPA — Volt Lighting, a maker of indoor and outdoor lighting products and systems, has raised its minimum hourly wage to $20, saying Florida’s $10/hour minimum wage requirement is not sufficient to sustain workers and families amid rapidly rising inflation.

In a news release, the Tampa-based company — which has distribution centers in Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas and Nevada — says it made the change not only to support its workers, but to improve their productivity and the company’s overall culture.
