Principles of Raise the Wage PA
-
We support an increase in the state and federal minimum wages to at least $15 per hour.
-
We support a cost of living adjustment in any legislation so that the minimum wage keeps pace with inflation.
-
We oppose a separate minimum wage for tipped workers.
-
We oppose the preemption of the right of localities to set their own minimum wages in Pennsylvania.
-
We support a significant increase in fines on employers who engage in wage theft against their employees and strengthening of enforcement efforts.
