Survey of 2016 Presidential campaign websites: on Jobs


Martin O`Malley: Raise the minimum wage, plus collective bargaining rights

Together, as one nation we must build an American economy that works again for all of us. That means good jobs and wage policies that allow hardworking families to actually get ahead. That means a higher minimum wage, overtime pay for overtime work, and respect for the rights of all workers to organize and collectively bargain for better wages. If we take these actions, the American Dream will live again.

Bernie Sanders: Raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour

The current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is a starvation wage. We need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage--$15 an hour over the next few years. No one in this country who works 40 hours a week should live in poverty.

Bernie Sanders: Corporate opposition makes union organizing difficult

Union workers who are able to collectively bargain for higher wages and benefits earn substantially more than non-union workers. Today, corporate opposition to union organizing makes it extremely difficult for workers to join a union. We need legislation which makes it clear that when a majority of workers sign cards in support of a union, they can form a union.
