This July, 2024 remember the minimum wage hasn’t increased since July, 2009—but if it had increased with inflation & corporate productivity since the 1960s—it’d be $27/hr today.
Reaganomics trickle down scam has redistributed $50T from bottom 90% to top 1% and corporations commit $50B in annual wage theft from workers.
This July 4th remember there is no freedom and justice without economic freedom and justice. Unionize workers. Tax billionaires. Restore justice.
this is part of the reason that i've never understood the 'fight for 15' campaign since its inception
$15 was such a low number then, selling people short
now, $15/hr FT is nowhere close to covering monthly expenses
if the currently proposed $15 minimum wage ever passes congress, we are still nowhere near solving disparity
in addition to taxing the wealthy, we need regulations for rent control, against price gouging on food, medications esp. as the climate worsens
