Romney, Cotton, Colleagues Introduce Bill to Raise Minimum Wage
Senators Romney, Cotton, Cassidy, Collins, Capito, and Vance introduced the Higher Wages for American Workers Act, legislation which would gradually raise the federal minimum wage to $11 and mandate E-Verify to ensure the wage increase only goes to legal workers. The bill would also index future minimum wage increases to inflation and includes a slower phase-in for small businesses.
