Swiss voters reject plan to set a minimum wage

Swiss voters rejected 3-to-1 a plan to establish what would have been the world’s highest minimum wage. Supporters said the plan would reduce income inequality. Business leaders had argued against it, saying it would make Switzerland less competitive with other nations and lead to higher unemployment.
