Washington, DC \u2013 Hoy, el Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley se uni\u00f3 a la Senadora Patty Murray (D-WA), la dem\u00f3crata l\u00edder en el Comit\u00e9 Senatorial de Salud, Educaci\u00f3n, Trabajo y Pensiones (HELP) y a los Senadores del Caucus Dem\u00f3crata para presentar una nueva legislaci\u00f3n para aumentar el salario m\u00ednimo federal a $12.00 para 2020. <\/p>\n
La Ley de Aumento del Salario aumentar\u00eda gradualmente el salario m\u00ednimo federal a $12.00 durante los pr\u00f3ximos cinco a\u00f1os y restaurar\u00eda el valor del trabajo duro para que m\u00e1s familias trabajadoras tengan la oportunidad de salir adelante. Aumentar los salarios de millones de trabajadores con salarios bajos garantizar\u00eda que nuestra econom\u00eda crezca de la mitad hacia afuera, no de arriba hacia abajo. El proyecto de ley tambi\u00e9n elimina el obsoleto salario con propinas $2.13 y evita que los trabajadores caigan en el olvido al indexar el salario m\u00ednimo al crecimiento del salario medio a lo largo del tiempo.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHay demasiadas familias trabajadoras en Estados Unidos que luchan por cubrir necesidades b\u00e1sicas como comida, hipoteca o alquiler, y educaci\u00f3n para sus hijos\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cNecesitamos un salario m\u00ednimo con el que los estadounidenses puedan vivir\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Aumentar el salario m\u00ednimo a $12.00 pondr\u00eda m\u00e1s dinero en los bolsillos de los consumidores y dar\u00eda un aumento a m\u00e1s de 28 millones de trabajadores e innumerables familias estadounidenses. <\/p>\n
Los estados y las empresas de todo el pa\u00eds han tomado medidas para aumentar su salario m\u00ednimo, pero solo la acci\u00f3n del Congreso puede aumentar el salario m\u00ednimo en todo el pa\u00eds. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
