Congress: Pass a $10.10 an hour federal minimum wage.
Why is this important?
President Obama endorses a minimum wage increase to $10 an hour. His announcement came just days after New Jersey voters passed a minimum wage increase at the ballot box and the city of SeaTac, WA approved a $15 an hour minimum wage for area airport and hotel workers.
Now, a vote on a $10.10 minimum wage is anticipated in the U.S. Senate in the first week of December.
The message is loud and clear: Congress, vote to increase the federal minimum wage to at least $10 an hour.
