Last Chance to Resurrect a Decent Minimum Wage Bill

From New Mexicans For a Fair Wage:
The House Labor Committee amended the bad Senate bill this morning to restore it to the Speaker’s proposal. Late today, we can expect a Conference Committee to negotiate a final compromise bill for the Legislature to act on before the Session ends at Noon tomorrow.

Make your final 7 calls this afternoon! Make Your Final 7 Calls NOW!

Please make your 7 calls now to the leadership and swing votes that will determine whether this compromise is something we can accept or not.

Here is the message for you to give them: “If legislators are giving themselves a 17% increase to their pension, and if they have a 3% cost of living adjustment, WORKERS deserve the same thing. GIVE ANY MINIMUM WAGE BILL A 3% COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT, just like the legislators’ own pension plan!”  Call:
