The controversial Initiative 82 would steadily increase minimum wage for tipped workers to match the D.C. standard by 2027.

Nicole Yu reports.

The imposition of minimum wages harms the economy, although there are nuances in how much harm they cause. It is better not to impose minimum wages at all.

Yes, the Minimum Wage Harms the Economy | André Marques

Everyone is aware of the requirements to pay minimum wage, but there are some exemptions for agriculture that are good to keep in mind if you are a farm employer. On this Legal with Leah, Ohio Farm Bureau Policy Counsel, Leah Curtis, covers minimum wage laws and how exemptions are not always what the market requires.

Legal With Leah - Labor Part 1 - Minimum Wage

There is no clear basis in economics, ethics, efficiency, or fairness for Minimum Wage Laws. The minimum wage works the way it was intended one hundred years ago.

Carolyn Harding with Mariah Ross, Ballot Initiative Director at One Fair Wage, Ohio.

Mariah Ross has worked in progressive politics for the past 10 years. Growing up on the east side of Cleveland in Glenville, she has a passion for economic justice, foreign policy and education. She focuses her work on turning out young voters and communities of color. Currently she is the Ballot Initiative Director at One Fair Wage, leading the campaign to raise the minimum wage and end subminimum wages for tipped workers, workers with disabilities, and youth.

The Raise the Wage Ohio ballot committee is working to put an initiative on the ballot for the November 2024 election in Ohio. The initiative would raise the state minimum wage to $15/hour, and end subminimum wages for tipped workers, workers with disabilities, and youth. The initiative is being driven by a large coalition of organizations, led by One Fair Wage, Ohio Organizing Collaborative, Red Wine and Blue, and many more groups at the intersection of community, labor and faith.

One Fair Wage-Ohio ballot initiative w/ Mariah Ross

The Nigerian government has passed a new minimum wage law, and the usual suspects are happy because the country "is getting a raise." Economic reality, however, will set in soon enough as people find that government edicts do not create wealth.

Leslie is joined by Brendan Duke, Senior Director for Economic Policy at the Center for American Progress Action Fund.

The pair discuss two of his most recent pieces for CAP. (both listed below)

1. "Donald Trump Is Lying About Immigrants and Social Security/Medicare" (https://www.americanprogressaction.org/article/donald-trump-is-lying-about-immigrants-and-social-security-medicare/)

2. "Harris’ Plan To Raise the Minimum Wage and Eliminate Tax on Tips Would Benefit Service and Hospitality Workers" (www.americanprogressaction.org/article/harris-plan-to-raise-the-minimum-wage-and-eliminate-tax-on-tips-would-benefit-service-and-hospitality-workers/)

Previously, Brendan was a senior policy adviser at the White House National Economic Council for the Biden-Harris administration, and a member of their presidential transition team. Duke estimated the cost of various provisions of the 'American Rescue Plan' and of the administration’s 'Build Back Better' plan, as well as helped develop its overall budgetary frameworks. He also worked on the administration’s Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force, where he served as the National Economic Council’s point person on supply chain data during the port congestion crisis of 2021, and the infant formula crisis of 2022.

Trump Lies About Immigrants & Social Security; Harris Plan to Raise Min Wage & Eliminate Tax on Tips

The guest host for today's 'Leslie Marshall Show' episode is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.

Brad is joined by Rep. Ro Khanna, who represents California's 17th Congressional District, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, and is serving his fourth term.
As a leading progressive in the House, Rep, Khanna is working to restore American manufacturing and technology leadership, improve the lives of working people, and advance U.S. leadership on climate, human rights, and diplomacy around the world.

Brad and Rep. Khanna discuss his 'new economic deal,' and how Democrats need to talk about economic revitalization in de-industrialized towns, and how they're going to give Americans a raise.

Rep. Khanna highlights the sad irony that Republicans who were just elected to power, are not going to do anything to address the main economic issues that Americans are clamoring for help with.
Instead, they are talking about dismantling the social safety net, killing the CFPB, and cutting healthcare programs to fund tax cuts for the rich.

However, Rep. Khanna highlights how when Americans mobilized during the last Trump administration to prevent cuts to popular domestic programs, they were successful. He believes that there is a viable path to stop these cuts again, as long as Americans make their voices heard in massive numbers in opposing these cuts.

Rep. Khanna also argues that 'Medicare for all' needs to be the Democrats' North Star for healthcare, and that then the party can talk about the incremental measures that they can use to get there. A recent study by Yale epidemiologists found that Medicare for All would save around 68,000 lives a year while reducing U.S. health care spending by around 13%, or $450 billion a year.

Rep. Khanna also details a bill that he co-sponsored with Senator Bernie Sanders that would eliminate medical debt. He uses the staggering fact that 42% of Cancer patients go bankrupt within two years of being diagnosed to highlight why this is so necessary.

Lastly, Rep. Khanna discusses his brand new political reform and anti-corruption bill designed to clean up corruption in politics.
The plan calls for:

- 12-year term limits for Members of Congress; 
- A ban on Members of Congress from holding and trading individual stocks during the Member’s tenure; 
- A ban on Members of Congress and candidates for the House and Senate from accepting contributions from political action committees and lobbyists, and a lifetime ban on lobbying for Members of Congress;
- A binding code of ethics for Supreme Court Justices; and
18-year term limits and regular appointments for future Supreme Court Justices, requiring a new Justice to be added and another to rotate off every two years.

Rep. Khanna serves on the House Armed Services Committee as ranking member of the Subcommittee on Cyber, Innovative Technologies and Information Systems (CITI), as co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans, a member of the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, and on the Oversight and Accountability Committee, where he previously chaired the Environmental Subcommittee.
His website is www.Khanna.House.gov.

Brad writes a political column every Sunday for 'The Hill.' He's on the National Journal's panel of political insiders and is a national political analyst for WGN TV and Radio in Chicago and KNX Radio in Los Angeles.
