U.S. elections put pressure on Canada to raise minimum wage - National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE)
Workers in Canada can take heart at sweeping Democratic Party gains in American mid-term elections. When a political earthquake hits the U.S., the tremors almost always ripple across Canada too.
The Democrats regained power in the House of Representatives on Tuesday with a smashing majority – one of the main issues being that they promised to act quickly to raise the U.S. federal minimum wage.
Meanwhile, minimum wage initiatives were also approved Tuesday in six states - Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and Ohio.------------------------------------------- posted 7:31 AM :: reference link ::
