Daniel Biss on Jobs

 

 


Raise the minimum wage to $15

The minimum wage should be a living one, and that's why Daniel fought for a $15-per-hour minimum wage. Worker's rights must be protected, and available to all-- that's why Daniel has passed bills to crack down on wage theft and finally close the wage gap that still leaves women earning less than 80 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts.
