YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSome in congress seem to be coming around to Bernie’s proposal. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"In a major win for the labor union-backed Fight for $15 movement and the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) are introducing a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Sanders, who caucuses with Democrats, introduced a similar $15 minimum wage bill in July 2015, but it garnered the support of just six senators, including himself.
With a more gradual phase-in period, the new legislation already has the backing of 23 senators, including Murray, the ranking member on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), ranking member of the Education and the Workforce Committee, are debuting companion legislation in the House.”*
