The General Assembly should take immediate and corrective action on raising the wage. Equally as important, the General Assembly should ensure a permanent solution to make sure that workers don’t have to wait another 17 years for the legislature to take action.

"Our contracts, our right to have a strong union, and our ability to provide for our families are on the ballot in this election.
