Biden Plans To Raise Wages For Hundreds Of Thousands Of Workers Without Congress

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Democrats in Congress hope they can find enough votes to pass a $15 minimum wage bill and send it to President Joe Biden’s desk. Under a campaign proposal that Biden has reaffirmed since taking office, government procurement rules would be changed so that workers employed under federal contracts would have to be paid at least $15 per hour. “It will ensure that those workers are earning decent wages and benefits to do the work of the federal government, and it will re-exert the federal government’s role as being a model employer.” President Joe Biden plans to raise the wage floor for federal contractors to $15 an hour. “The center of gravity in the party when it comes to labor has shifted dramatically.” - Joseph Geevarghese, director of Our Revolution But Biden’s campaign proposal indicates how mainstream the concept of a $15 minimum wage has become, thanks to the success of the Fight for $15, a union-backed campaign to boost wages that began in 2012. Walter, of the Center for American Progress, said the Biden administration could try to apply a $15 minimum wage to large groups of workers who produce goods for the government.
