The minimum wage is $11+ in New York State. Across the border in Pennsylvania, it's still just $7.25. Yet so far, there has been no evidence of significant job loss, even in border counties. Really nice deep-dive from Jeanna Smialek: nytimes.com/2019/11/13/bus…
New Fed study: Natural experiment, NY adopted #FightFor15 min wage increase, PA didn't. Result: NY worker wages up and no adverse impact on employment vs. PA. Yup, more evidence min wage increases really work! libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2019/09/minimu… Nick Hanauer goldyha.bsky.social Civic Skunk Works
National Employment Law Project played a significant supportive role (especially Laura Huizar) in the $15 campaign in Mpls. As did Ginger Jentzen from $15Now, who led much of this fight! Congratulations to all!
Every worker, no matter their race, job, or gender, deserves prosperity. Thanks to all of the organizations and front line fighters who made this happen, you are amazing! CTUL SEIU Local 26 15 Now Minnesota #FightFor15 strib.mn/2tII8m4
For the second day, fast food workers workers in Detroit are walking off the job demanding #PPE and hazard pay. We must be protected on the job. It's time for corporations like McDonald's and Burger King to step up and #ProtectAllWorkers!
I was on @HillTVLive with Krystal Ball about how a fighting movement with a socialist strategy & credible ballot initiative threat - not appealing to Democratic politicians - won Seattle's $15 min wage. Wining a federal $15 will need a fighting movement! youtu.be/WlHIJHlPXPs
