“For decades, the wages of everyday American workers have remained stagnant [sic] while monopoly corporations have consolidated industry after industry, achieving record profits for CEOs and investment bankers, ”Hawley said in a statement.
“Mega-corporations can pay their workers $ 15 an hour, and they’ve been doing it for a long time, but that shouldn’t happen at the expense of small businesses already struggling to get it.”
Progressive Democrats pushing for a $ 15 minimum wage suffered a hard blow Thursday night when Senate MP Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that politics could not be included in the budget reconciliation process.
Democrats hoped to approve the salary as part of a $ 1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package through the reconciliation process that only requires a simple majority to be approved in the Senate.
Sanders blurred the view and said he would work on an amendment to force large, profitable companies to pay below $ 15 an hour.
“This amendment should be included in this conciliation bill,” he said.
The details of the different plans are not aligned, especially the elements that would subsidize wages to small businesses.
But this is not the first time Hawley and Sanders have supported similar political goals. Last year, the two joined legislation to increase COVID-19 stimulus payments from $ 600 to $ 2,000.
