Stop the Rollbacks to $15 Minimum Wage

Democratic Senator Gopal has introduced two bills, S3607 and S3608, that would rollback minimum wage increases.

S3607 would freeze annual minimum wage increases at the slightest indication of an economic downturn. This rollback legislation proposed by Senator Gopal would hit our working families hard at a time when they need an increase in wages more than ever.

Advocates working on behalf of working families, including New Jersey Citizen Action, are urging the legislature to reject these bills.

Activists and advocates have been doing a great job making some noise already – and it’s working. It seems unlikely the bills would be put up for a vote by the legislative bodies but the fight isn’t over. We need to ensure these two bills do not get voted out of the Labor Committee next week. Let’s send a strong message to the legislature that NJ citizens support our working families!
