Morse predicts Congress to boost minimum wages
Senator Morse predicts a raise of the 10 cent hourly minimum to at least 1.00 and to apply the Fair Labor Standards Act to all workers. He and Secretary Mitchell back a raise as Congress plans to cover more workers, likely targeting 0.75 to 0.90 per hour due to rising living costs. Scientists estimate 10 to 15 percent of global deaths stem from cancer.
