Wouldn’t the $2T American Jobs Plan be a good place to include raising the minimum wage to $15/hr? Did we just sort of drop that...? Is it one of those “We’ll get back to it later” things that goes into a political black hole and never makes its way out? epi.org/publication/raising-…

Pay everybody what many EMTs and some paramedics barely make. Who will want to become a rural EMT?

Basic economics/market forces and operating margins dictate wages of positions for hospitals and businesses. **Unless they operate in perpetual debt —and how long do those businesses last?
Please run for your local hospital board. These sound like terrific ideas. Bring a bullhorn, they might not hear you right. Local chamber of commerce meetings may also be fruitful.

The Corporations that prop up the Biden Administration do not want this.

Harmful to states where cost of living is not high like it is in #NYC. Besides minimum wage (if we need one) should for ENTRY level work - not a living wage. Every time min wage increase, more teens don’t get hired - esp minorities.

We lost the #FightFor15 without throwing a damn punch. So let's start the #FightFor35 yup $35 minimum wage. Then the Dems can negotiate themselves down to $15!
