Workers in unstable, low-wage, and precarious positions have successfully advocated for increases in the minimum wage across the country. With the cost of living crisis taking its toll, the focus has shifted to fighting for a minimum wage of at least $20 per hour. Workers are also fighting for legislated annual wage adjustments to keep pace with rising costs, elimination of sub-minimum wage rates, and removal all exemptions to the general minimum wage for students, farmworkers, and other groups. Click here to join the fight for a $20 minimum wage and decent work for all!
