Raise the Wage, NY
Assemblyman Silver is leading the fight to help hardworking families earn more by:
-
Increasing the minimum wage to $8.50 an hour and the tip-wage for food-service workers to $5.86 an hour in Jan. 2013, a 17% increase
-
Tying future increases to the minimum wage to the rate of inflation starting in 2014 (A9148)
“When you work full time at the minimum wage, you’re not making enough to get by. We want people to be able to support their families, plain and simple. It’s time to raise the minimum wage.”
