This is a petition for raising the minimum wage in US
Take some time get involved. This is a petition for raising the minimum wage in US as promoted by Ralph Nader. It would be a good first step for putting the politicians who are legally redistributing their money to their corporate constituency who buy them and it would go a long way to healing up the division between our public and private unions that has allowed their corporate backers to alternately whack both. It is time for working people to stand up for the good of workers as a whole.

No class warfare here
Daily Kos: New York minimum wage increase being blocked by Republicans would give 880,000 workers a raise:
"The minimum wage increase that has passed the New York State Assembly but is stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate and is not drawing support from Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo would directly benefit 10.1 percent of New York workers. The proposed increase from the federal minimum wage of $7.25 to $8.50 would affect 880,000 workers currently earning less than $8.50 an hour, a new report from the Fiscal Policy Institute finds, and another 200,000 workers making just over $8.50 might benefit from a spillover effect.
A majority of the workers who would get a raise live in New York City and the surrounding area—352,000 in New York City, 126,500 on Long Island, and another 72,500 in suburban counties. But several upstate counties would actually see a disproportionate number of workers benefit, among them Broome County and Oneida County, where 12.6 and 12.5 percent of workers would get raises, respectively, and Erie County where the figure is 11.4 percent. That's another 71,400 workers getting a better standard of living in return for their work.

Missouri Senate Candidates Don't Know Minimum Wage
For those on the minimum wage this is who represents them. I wonder how many of them are actually living on minimum wage. Of course if you brought back slavery you'd have complete employment.
