Stop Exploiting Workers! Make HUGE Corporations Pay!

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy

Dear Fellow Activist,

Huge corporations in Connecticut, like McDonald's and Walmart, are getting rich by paying unlivable wages to employees. In CT, 83,000 people are "working poor." They make less than $19,968/year while working at least 40 hours a week. That's only $384/week. Can you live on that? A low wage employer fee would obligate these companies to pay into the public benefits they force their employees to use.

Can you join us in standing with 83,000 working poor families in Connecticut and sign the petition to Governor Malloy?

Onward,

Lindsay Farrell
State Director

Huge corporations in Connecticut are exploiting the working poor. 83,000 Connecticut families are living in poverty while working full time at stores, like Walmart and McDonald's. These workers are exploited, and the services they then rely on are a strain on our state budgets. This isn't right. Make Huge Corporations Pay a Low Wage Employer Fee. They can afford it and it will help our economy.

Governor, will you stand with 83,000 working poor families and do what's right?
