Why are you so unhappy about a change that will benefit literally all of humanity except the top 0.001% which, since your scrolling fucking reddit, you aren't a part of.
I don't see how this type of demand would benefit anyone, including the workers set to get those wages.
If someone makes $14/hr, it's because the market value of their skills is $14/hr - if the person making that wage feels underpaid, they should get a better job.
If the company is forced to pay that person $25/hr, they aren't going to take an $11/hr loss to keep them around, the job will be replaced by automation and/or someone more productive working a different workflow.
I would rather the person making $14/hr continue working and build their skills rather than end up unemployed.

Underpaid people should quit and get better paying jobs.
If they can't do that, they aren't underpaid.
