Working Moms. Senior Citizens. Families of every type and every size here in PA. I’m proud to vote to give them all a raise. Coming January 2024 we want to #RaiseTheWage – and then again in 2025 and 2026 and every time it needs to happen.
It seems simple enough, but many of us are out here working 2 or 3 jobs just to support our families and make ends meet. We need to #RaiseTheWage
Part of why homelessness has risen nationwide is because while rent & the cost of other goods & services has risen, the federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009. THIS is why we demand elected officials #RaiseTheWage seiu.co/3qN3trI
Today, the House passed my bill to increase Pennsylvania's minimum wage.
When we #RaiseTheWage , we make sure working people get a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work.
Tourism workers struggle to afford a place to live in the cities where they work and are forced to move further away because wages are not keeping pace with the cost of housing. We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with hospitality workers! #RaisetheWage
By claiming that almost no one in PA actually makes minimum wage, House Republicans are making our case for us. Tonight @pahousedems passed long overdue legislation to end poverty wages in the Commonwealth. #RaiseTheWage
Pennsylvania's minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009 - that's not enough for working people to live on.
The PA House took an important step to raise the wage to $15 an hour, and it's time for Congress to do the same. #RaiseTheWage
