Kemi Badenoch wants to freeze the minimum wage – which really means workers subsidise businesses and billionaires stay protected. If firms can’t pay a real living wage, why are they in business?
So blue Tories are the same as red ones & lemon ones! . For the few not the many!

"Time for your annual reminder that, according to A #Christmas Carol Bob Cratchit makes 15 shillings a week. Adjusted for inflation, that's $530.27/wk, $27,574/yr, or $13.50/ hr. Most Americans on #minimumwage earn less than a Dickensian allegory for destitution." mastodon.social/@VeroniqueB9...

7 countries have minimum wages that are double what the U.S. offers yet they are STILL poverty wages.
However, raising the minimum wage in the U.S. to $17/hr, as proposed in the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, would impact 22,247,000 workers across the country, (15% of the U.S. wage-earning workforce) & provide an additional $70 billion annually in wages for the country’s poorest workers.
And at the same time, a rise in minimum wage is generally accompanied by a ripple up effect, where wages for other workers also increase.

Because I operate a small business licensed in #Sunnyvale , California, I get these notices when the municipal #MinimumWage increases.
Though it's higher than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour (since 2009) and California's minimum wage (as of Jan 1, 2025), it's still far below what the County of Santa Clara recognizes as a #LivingWage suitable for its contractors to pay their workers (ranging from $23.98 to $27.98 per hour, depending on benefits provided):
https://prc.santaclaracounty.gov/legislative-administrative-policies/living-wage-policy
The county's rates are below what I consider a fair living wage for Sunnyvale, by about 2-3 times.
The numbers keep getting higher because inflation has been about 4% per year since the Revenue Act of 1964 shifted income tax burden from the highest earners, enabling them to hoard massive amounts of money, and the cost of housing in #SiliconValley seems to increase by about 6.75% per year as more people continue to want to live here.
Everyone’s finishing work — but millions are STILL not earning enough to live on.
The new minimum wage rise doesn’t bridge the gap with the real Living Wage.
