Norton wage hour plan aims for flat 25 cent minimum
Rodney Dutcher reports on the Norton bill pushing a flat nationwide minimum wage of 25 cents per hour with a 44 hour work week and gradual increases for agriculture, plus 40 cent rise within three years and a 40 hour cap in ten years. Northern Republicans back the plan to remove north south wage differentials, while southern Democrats fear loss of differential. The bill would empower the Labor Department to enforce provisions and report violations to Justice, as political fights loom over floor passage, filibusters, and conference with the Senate.
