WASHINGTON \u2013 Hoy, el Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley se uni\u00f3 a sus colegas para pedir a los republicanos del Senado que dejen de estancar el progreso en una variedad de temas que dar\u00edan a las familias de clase media de Estados Unidos una oportunidad justa, en particular la Ley de Salario M\u00ednimo Justo, que aumentar\u00eda el salario m\u00ednimo federal. a $10.10 y proporcionar aumentos anuales autom\u00e1ticos vinculados a los cambios en el costo de vida.<\/p>\n
En los \u00faltimos meses, los republicanos han bloqueado varias iniciativas destinadas a nivelar el campo de juego para los estadounidenses de clase media, incluidos los esfuerzos para aumentar el salario m\u00ednimo, reducir la deuda de pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles y hacer que la matr\u00edcula universitaria sea m\u00e1s asequible, lograr la equidad salarial, hacer que el cuidado de los ni\u00f1os sea m\u00e1s asequible, proteger el Medicare de las personas mayores e impulsar los empleos a trav\u00e9s de la fabricaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHay demasiadas familias trabajadoras en Oreg\u00f3n y en todo el pa\u00eds que luchan por cubrir necesidades b\u00e1sicas como comida en la mesa, la factura de la hipoteca o el alquiler y la educaci\u00f3n de sus hijos\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cEs inaceptable, pero lo que es m\u00e1s frustrante es que mis colegas contin\u00faan bloqueando la legislaci\u00f3n que podr\u00eda ofrecer una ayuda real a estas familias. Necesitamos un salario m\u00ednimo con el que los estadounidenses puedan vivir. Necesitamos hacer que la universidad sea m\u00e1s asequible. Necesitamos hacer que Estados Unidos funcione para las familias trabajadoras\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
La Ley de Salario M\u00ednimo Justo aumentar\u00eda gradualmente la tasa federal actual de $7.25 m\u00ednimo por hora a $10.10 durante un per\u00edodo de 30 meses. Seg\u00fan este proyecto de ley, m\u00e1s de 30 millones de trabajadores estadounidenses recibir\u00edan un aumento, incluido 1 mill\u00f3n que saldr\u00eda de la pobreza.<\/p>\n
El 30 de abril, la Ley de Salario M\u00ednimo Justo se estanc\u00f3 cuando los senadores votaron 54-42 para comenzar a debatir la legislaci\u00f3n, seis votos menos de los 60 necesarios para que la medida siguiera avanzando. Todos menos un republicano del Senado votaron en contra de debatir el proyecto de ley.<\/p>\n
El salario m\u00ednimo ha perdido m\u00e1s del 30 por ciento de su poder adquisitivo desde que alcanz\u00f3 su punto m\u00e1ximo en 1968. Si el salario m\u00ednimo federal hubiera seguido el ritmo de la inflaci\u00f3n desde 1968, hoy valdr\u00eda aproximadamente $10.56 por hora. El salario m\u00ednimo actual en Oregon es $9.10 por hora y est\u00e1 vinculado a la inflaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
