What right is being enforced/protected by the state of Alabama's recent law barring cities and towns from increasing minimum wage?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) February 27th, 2016

Alabama bows to the federally mandated minimum of $7.25 an hour, yet bars local municipalities from increasing it.

I favor the federal minimum wage with the caveat that it can be increased at will by any governing body that deems it necessary.
How can Alabama deny cities the privilege of paying their workers more?
