– Budget negotiations on the hill have picked up in recent days, with word of a budget compromise in the works and new activity on several legislative initiatives as members of the legislature seek to take advantage of the rumored break-through. One of those items which maybe working its way back onto the agenda is the minimum wage. An overwhelming majority of Pennsylvanians support the modest increase to $10.10 per hour, and indexing the minimum wage to inflation. Bills which would enact that change have been languishing in both the House and Senate all year, stuck in committee – but now is the time that we can put pressure on the Senate to finally move their version of the bill as part of the comprehensive budget bill.

Go To: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/take-action-tell-the-state-senate-to-raise-the-minimum-wage, To Contact your Senator today. Tell them that you want them to support a $10.10 minimum wage for ALL workers in Pennsylvania, and that you want that minimum wage indexed to rise with inflation, so that we will not need to take action every few years just to keep minimum wage workers from falling back into poverty.
