Anyone who argues the minimum wage should be $7.25 an hour obviously isn't trying to get by on $7.25 an hour. Our workers deserve no less than a living wage. That's why I'm co-sponsoring SB 41 with @ReggieThomasKY to raise the minimum wage in KY.
It’s a false narrative that people aren’t going back to work because they’d rather stay home with unemployment. It’s meant to distract us from the fact wages are so low and childcare is so expensive some people can’t afford to work low-paying jobs. (1/2)
There are disturbing reports from WKY and elsewhere of employers forcing workers to stay at work--even threatening termination--in dangerous weather. This is wrong. I will file a bill to hold accountable those who force workers to stay and risk their lives during severe weather.
The Chipotle across the street from my office had trouble filling their shifts in March. They raised their wages to $13.50 an hour. Guess what? They now have enough workers to be open for dine-in and online orders. Take care of workers. Raise wages. Make childcare affordable.
I<U+2019>m sad we<U+2019>re losing a staple of the Highlands, but it<U+2019>s even more upsetting to see Heine Brothers closing a store while @HBWorkersUnion is organizing it. #UnionsForAll https://t.co/dm7obirEF6
The pageantry of the Kentucky Derby is made possible by the hard-working men and women at the track. I stand with the members of @SEIU Local 541 asking for a fair contract.
My friend and colleague @ReggieThomasKY lost his mother on Wednesday. Yesterday he still came to Frankfort to attend his committee hearing and pre-file his bill raising the minimum wage. Reggie has never missed a day in 6 years and never stops fighting. https://t.co/y5t7v4Q6dc
I’m proud to have the backing of the nation’s largest labor union, @NEAToday, in my race for Congress. Even through the hardest days of the pandemic, teachers and education employees educate, protect, and care for our children. I'll be a proud voice for them in Washington, DC.
It<U+2019>s an honor to receive the endorsement of @Teamsters89 and Teamsters Local 783 in my campaign to represent Louisville in Congress. I will always fight for organized labor and the working men and women who make Kentucky<U+2019>s economy run. https://t.co/eBhUxkZzTv
