Raise the Wage Day of Action!

Teamsters rally for minimum wage increase

Workers are being squeezed by rising prices. Six years ago, New York was one of the first states to adopt a $15 minimum wage. But the price of everything - from gas and rent to groceries - rising at the fastest rate in 40 years, families can't make ends meet on $15 an hour.

The solution is clear. It's time for our elected lawmakers in Albany to restore the lost value of New York's minimum wage by raising it to $21.25 by 2026 in NYC, Long Island, & Westchester, and by 2027 indexing CPI and labor productivity - to make sure it never falls behind again.

On February 5th at 2pm Raise Up NY Coalition partners, including Teamsters Local 804, are going to meet at Kennedy Memorial Park before splitting up to knock on doors in the Hempstead community to build support for the Raise Up NY Act. Can you join us?
