It is all about paybacks to the unions - some base their minimum rates (especially on government contracts) on a multiple of the minimum wage...

That's 100% correct. Also, some contracts allow wage provisions to be reopened, mid-contract, if there is a change in the minimum wage.

Raising the minimum wage is about raising taxes. Since many of the part-time workers are claimed as dependents on their parents taxes, thus an increase in the minimum wage translates into higher tax revenue due to the increase in taxable earnings.
Those who remain at the minimum wage for longer than a single performance review, have serious problems that will not be resolved by increasing the minimum wage.
