Sign Petition Supporting Increase to the Minimum Wage

From Raise the Wage PA (http://raisethewagepa.org/):

Please take a moment to support Pennsylvania workers by signing a petition calling for an increased minimum wage at http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/o/51246/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=19633.

Republican leaders in Harrisburg have been holding minimum wage legislation hostage in committee, and haven’t allowed a vote on it in many years. Every state surrounding Pennsylvania has long ago raised their minimum wage, but PA workers are still stuck with a $7.25 minimum wage.

62% of PA citizens support a $15/hour minimum wage, but the Republican leadership refuses to act.

With the elections coming up in November, now is the time to let our elected officials know that workers deserve a decent wage.

Sign our petition demanding that Republican leaders in Harrisburg allow a vote on an increased state minimum wage this year before the elections.
