At the Embassy Suites Hotel in with UNITE HERE! Local 8 workers who are confronting management, demanding a decent contract. They're tired of being nickel-and-dimed by the Hilton corp. on wages, healthcare, paid time off, and respect on the job. They're fired up, and taking no more!
NYC Restaurants 'Thriving' While Paying $15 Minimum Wage, Study Finds gothamist.com/2019/08/07/15_… via @gothamist National Employment Law Project
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…

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
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
Black restaurant workers report being tipped less than others in retaliation for enforcing social distancing rules, according to new One Fair Wage survey. Their earnings also dropped during the pandemic while White earnings went up slightly. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
NELP is in agreement with Bernie Sanders and in solidarity with workers across the country leading the #FightFor15, a racial and gender justice issue! Congress must deliver and we'll be there for each and every vote until this much-needed bill passes! #RaiseTheWage
