Elizabeth MacDonough rules that Federal minimum wage rise cannot be part of Covid recovery bill going through Senate

If Senate Democrats can’t find a path forward to get the wage increase enacted – one option might be to pair it with tax penalties for companies not paying the wage, which might then overcome the ruling – it will set up a clash with the progressive side of the party, which was already very vocal about the developments last night.

Didn't take him long to pull the trigger too. Is this the return to sanity the media have portrayed?

Amazing how you have to actually follow the law huh? And the fun part.... Biden, and Sanders already knew it was illegal, they simply wanted to say they tried. Which of course is just a lie. Thanks for the promises Joe. As always the poor will continue to suffer under the Dems.

If Biden cannot deliver on the 15MinimumWage that his campain promoted then democratsShouldAimFor20MinimumWage . If the response to failure is to settle for the crumbs republicans are willing to toss then bipartisan politics seems cowardly to me. fightFor20 USminimumWage

This is akin to validating-Ketchup, in a shit-sandwich.. 'We' argue the toss for the scraps from the 'Top-table'.. Meantime, all-those seated, continue to perpetuate inequality/poverty/war/famine/death/disease. and dune-buggy's to mars.. 🤔💩💩💩🙄

I see Biden’s just bombed Syria. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

The wealthiest country in the World cannot guarantee a decent wage to its citizen. What year is this?

“We are not going to give up the fight to raise the minimum wage to $15 to help millions of struggling American workers and their families. The American people deserve it, and we are committed to making it a reality.” --Schumer
