Hey Governor Cuomo, We Need a Real Minimum Wage Now! with Assembly member Linda Rosenthal Senator Jose Peralta The Coalition for a Real Minimum-Wage Increase
The new minimum wage bill will not be indexed to inflation, instead Governor Cuomoâs wage bill raises the minimum wage to only $9 an hour in three years whch is too little, too late. We need a real minimum wage increase that lifts people out of poverty and enables them to adequately support their families. Governor Cuomoâs minimum wage law also excludes hundreds of thousands of tipped workers from receiving an increase and fails to allocate any resources for labor-law enforcement to investigate workersâ complaints of employersâ rampant violations of an failure to pay the minimum wage. The Coalition for a Real Minimum Wage Increase is campaigning for a real minimum wage and to strengthen minimum wage law and its enforcement.
