Americans are working harder but earning less than they did 12 years ago, and wealth has concentrated in the hands of the very few as almost never before. We must fight for better wages for all workers, so that Americans can actually live on what they earn. That means raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, increasing the threshold for overtime pay to $1,000 a week, and restoring workers collective bargaining power.
LAUNCH A JOBS AGENDA FOR THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE
Clean, renewable sources of energy represent one of the biggest economic opportunities in a century. And the threat of climate change is real and immediate. We must make better choices for a more secure and independent energy futureby limiting carbon emissions, setting renewable energy targets, driving innovation, seeding new industries, and creating good local jobs.
