Increase the Minimum Wage in Florida
Have you ever had the misfortune of working for minimum wage? The last time I had such a job, the minimum wage was $5.15 an hour. And it still is today.Floridians For All is organizing a petition to raise it to $6.15. While there are many obvious reasons to give a boost to poorly paid workers, the group points out another benefit of this petition:
In a year where voter turnout is of the utmost importance, 52 percent of less likely voters indicate they would be more interested in the 2004 election if a minimum wage proposal is on the ballot, and 30 percent say they would be much more interested.Download the petition here.
