That's just being read wrong, it's not written like a "save up to $10" kind of line. The "up" just describes the change (i.e. 'the starting wage is going up; becoming $X'). Within the article, it's completely unambiguous:

The national average starting wages for Aldi workers will be set at $18 an hour and $23 an hour for warehouse workers.
