Protestors join nationwide push for increase in minimum wage

A nationwide effort to raise the minimum wage on Thursday led to the gathering of more than a dozen activists at the intersection of Paredes Line Road and Ruben M. Torres Sr. Boulevard.

Waving signs and chanting, mostly in Spanish, the protesters represented a local leg of a national effort involving fast-food worker strikes in 100 cities where protests were held, all rallying to increase the federal minimum wage.

Democrats push for minimum wage increase

December 05, 2013 10:45 pm • By Naomi Creason, The Sentinel

Legislators in the state and across the country Thursday called for an increase to the minimum wage — a move that sparked more protest from fast-food workers.

Democrats were mostly behind the push, with Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., calling for an increase in the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 per hour in three annual steps of 95 cents each.

In the state, Rep. Patty Kim, D-Dauphin, introduced a minimum wage increase bill that called for wages to increase from $7.25 an hour to $9 an hour, and then to $10.10 an hour the year after the bill passes.
