● Washington, D.C., voters voted last month to raise the tipped worker minimum wage, and now the city council is moving to overturn the will of the voters. Disgusting.
● What does the Janus decision mean for working women?
● These eight fast food chains are under investigation for their hiring practices.
● For many undocumented workers, there's no such thing as a minimum wage.
● Right to work is wrong for Missouri:
- Based on the impact of an RTW law in neighboring Oklahoma, we could expect that nearly 60,000 fewer Missourians working in the private sector would be covered by a union contract if RTW were implemented in Missouri.
- RTW laws have not succeeded in boosting employment in states that have adopted them. In fact, RTW laws have no causal impact on job growth or unemployment, contrary to the claims of its proponents.
- RTW laws are associated with lower wages and benefits for both union and nonunion workers. In RTW states, the average worker makes 3.1 percent less in hourly wages than the average worker with similar characteristics in non-RTW states. This pattern of lower wages in RTW states is also true for women workers and workers of color.
