Pennsylvania has not raised its minimum wage since 2009. Since 2014, 32 states have increased their minimum wage, including every state that borders Pennsylvania - New Jersey, New York, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Make your voice heard! Let’s tell the Senate to get this done – and help working families!
While the minimum wage in Pennsylvania has remained stagnate for 16 years, the cost of basic necessities like housing, healthcare, childcare, food, and utilities have all risen. The essential workers who keep our economy moving no matter what want to know why they’ve been ignored by Republicans in Harrisburg for so long.
We’re no longer talking about a policy disagreement. We’re talking about right and wrong. We’re talking about the value we place on hard work. The value we put on the people who do the necessary work to care for our elders, our children, our streets and our businesses.
Please sign our petition to call upon the Senate leadership to increase the minimum wage in Pennsylvania - and help working families.
You can help us! Send an email to Senate Republican leadership - Senate Pro Tempore Kim Ward; Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman, and Senate Labor and Industry Chairman Devlin Robinson asking them to raise the wage for working Pennsylvanians!
