AFSCME 6: Living Wage

Do you support or oppose policies to establish a ‘living wage’ designed to ensure low-wage workers and their families can live above the poverty level?


I would support a living wage that ensures low-wage workers can live above the poverty level but I have never seen a plan that would accomplish that. Minimum wages hurt less-skilled workers because they can't get a job if they aren't worth the minimum wage. They help some workers a little and hurt many workers a lot. I am very much against telling people that they aren't even worth having a job because that aren't skilled enough to meet some minimum level.
