Biden will not expect minimum wage hike to be in relief bill
US President Joe Biden said within an interview released on Fri he will not expect his proposal for a good hike found in the minimum wage to $15 one hour to be contained in his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill because of Senate rules."My guess could it be will not be found in it. But I do feel that we ought to have the very least wage, the stand by position itself, $15 one hour," Biden said within an interview with the CBS Evening Media.
Increasing the bare minimum wage may manage afoul of Senate tips on reconciliation, an instrument Democrats intend to use to move Biden's coronavirus relief expenses without Republican assist in the closely divided Senate. Biden explained he would be prepared to negotiate the wage go up separately and the boost could possibly be phased in."No-one should work 40 time a week and live below the poverty wage. And if you are making significantly less than $15 an hour, you're living below the poverty wage," Biden stated. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 one hour.
