John Fetterman has differing opinions on the minimum wage.
Fetterman said that there was no change to the minimum wage. The minimum wage is worth less today than it was 13 years ago.
The minimum wage was a point of contention between the Democrats and the Republicans. A request for comment from the Oz campaign was not responded to.
13 years ago on Sunday, the federal minimum wage was raised to $8.25 an hour. Many states have taken matters into their own hands and raised minimum pay, but others still use the federal minimum.
Fetterman is running for Senate in Pennsylvania where the minimum wage is $7.25. Under Wolf's proposal, the minimum wage would have been raised to $12 an hour by July 1, and then to $15 by the year 2000.
Democrats wanted to raise the federal minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour as part of the economic recovery act. It was thrown out of the measure because it violated procedural rules. Eight Senate Democrats were opposed. They haven't looked at it again.
Fetterman believes that the minimum wage should be at least fifteen dollars. Fetterman said in an interview with The Hill that he wouldn't want to support a minimum wage of fifteen dollars an hour.
Fetterman called the idea of an $11 minimum wage "nonsense" when a bipartisan group of senators began looking into it.
Minimum wage needs to be at least fifteen dollars. Not $16. At least. If you are opposed to that, you should work and live on $11 an hour and demonstrate to the rest of us how you can survive on less than that.
He said that $1 is still real shitty.
