Wage Hearings Set for Minimum Wage Expansion
The House Labor Committee will begin hearings February 17 on a bill to raise the federal minimum wage and broaden its coverage. Kennedy and Rep. Adam Clayton Powell back the plan, introduced by Rep. James Roosevelt, proposing a three step rise from 1.00 to 1.25 an hour for current covered workers and bringing 4.9 million more workers under the act within four years. A Senate version aligned with Kennedy proposals is expected later in the week. The measure signals a revival of the minimum wage fight after last year’s defeat.
