Just watched one of Richard Wolff's latest videos. Apparently the Democrats (read : Sanders) proposal to introduce a $15/hour minimum wage has been defeated twice in congress. It's been watered down such that the increase will occur incrementally - the $15 will only be reached by 2025. Apparently 8 Democrats crossed the floor to vote with the GOP.
The current US minimum wage is $7.25/hr, among the lowest in the industrialised world. Joke of a country.
