Protect Washington's Minimum Wage!
Workers who work hard and play by the rules should be paid enough to live with dignity and raise a family. I urge you to oppose all efforts to cut Washington state's minimum wage!
Why is this important?
People who work hard and play by the rules should be paid enough to live with dignity and raise a family. But Senate Republicans are pushing to cut our state's minimum wage by 25% for new workers. Workers in restaurants and many other service industries would earn only $6.89 an hour for their first 6 month or more - not nearly enough to support themselves or their family.
