$18.67: What the US federal minimum wage would be if it "had kept up with the growth of workers' productivity. ...And if it had matched the wage growth of the wealthiest 1%, it would be more than $28."
From AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka's and National Employment Law Project Executive Director Christine Owens' op-ed for CNN, "$7.25 an hour is not a living wage."
And neither is $10.10 an hour, which is the currently proposed federal wage that would take effect in two years.
This is indecent. This is class warfare.
