BIG NEWS IN THE FIGHT FOR $15 - In addition to the Wage Board recom-
mendations being accepted by the Labor Commissioner and Governor, the
Governor announced last week that he would be making a $15/hr mini-
mum wage for ALL WORKERS a key piece of the upcoming legislative
agenda. Even as recently as earlier this year, the idea of a $13 minimum
wage was a “non-starter” - but the tireless advocacy of workers and their
supporters (like you) has changed the political landscape. You might say
the Fight for $15 is ‘prophetic’ - workers cast a vision for the way things
could be, and despite heavy opposition, struggled and fought to bring the
vision to life. There is still work to be done, and we’ll keep you up-to-date
with ways you can join the struggle!
