Minimum Wage Action Response Team Meeting
Tuesday, April 13th, 6:30 PM
Oregon Action office, 3009 NE Emerson, Portland
Oregon Action is mobilizing our members to let our state Representatives know we must stop mean-spirited attacks on the minimum wage gains made in 1996. Specifically, action is needed on HB 2430 which allows employers to count a portion of restaurant worker tips toward the minimum wage. HB 2468 will allow growers to make more profits and pay lower wages to farm workers. We are focusing on a postcard campaign targeting our state representatives and researching the Oregon Restaurant Association's campaign contribution giving to legislators who will be voting on these bills.
