It’s the wrong thing to do. To raise salaries, work to bring jobs back!

A $15 minimum wage by 2024 would generate $144 billion in higher wages for workers, benefiting their local economies.

Feds also get an infusion of tax dollars without having to go raise taxes.

Unless the minimum wage applies to all union employees, and no waivers are granted to any union any where, then this is nothing more than punitive discrimination against non-union shops.
