$15 Minimum Wage: Leave No Worker Behind

There's a new proposal to raise New Jersey's minimum wage to $15 an hour—but it leaves far too many workers behind.

The bill, proposed by Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, would exempt farmworkers, teens, tipped workers, seasonal workers, and those at firms with fewer than ten employees from earning $15 until 2029—an eleven year phase in. NJPP estimates this bill will leave behind more than a third of the state's low-paid workforce, including many who need the raise the most.

Act now and tell your legislators to support a clean $15 minimum wage bill that leaves no worker behind!
