The Federal minimum wage has been $7.25/hr since 2009. That’s 12 years of hard work and struggle. It’s time for a raise.

NYC fast food workers would get increased protections under two bills that passed in the City Council on Thursday.
The two bills would increase protections for workers at large fast food companies, expanding upon worker protection laws passed in 2017.
One measure would prohibit fast food employers from firing workers without just cause, meaning showing the employee failed to meet job duties or has harmed the employer s business interests.
Another would require that any layoffs occur by seniority, protecting workers who have been with a given company longer.
