31. Social and economic justice

Edited on Thu Dec-07-06 10:21 AM by ultraist

Edwards certainly is a "leader(s) who take(s) a strong stand for workers' freedom to form unions and who fight for social and economic justice."

He has worked tirelessly to strengthen unions and raise the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage has stagnated for the longest period ever, since it was created in 1938, for nearly ten years. Shameful.

The good news is though, that the minimum wage increase intiatives that were on ballots in six states in the 06 midterm election, all passed! In part due to Senator Edwards stumping in those states.

Keep up the good fight, Senator Edwards!
