The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit has partly stayed enforcement of President Joe Biden’s executive order that requires that all federal contractors be paid a $15-per-hour minimum wage.
The ruling came on Feb. 17 in a lawsuit brought by Colorado-based adventure tour operator Duke Bradford, who founded Arkansas Valley Adventures (AVA) in 1998. Currently, the company has 250 employees who provide outdoor experiences throughout the year, including guided multi-day river rafting wilderness trips.
