[nfbmi-talk] Registration Link: Webinar with Sen. Tom Harkin on 2/13

[Kane Brolin]

This is a follow-up to what Joe Harcz forwarded to the rest of the
NFBMI-Talk Mailing List.  The original message did not contain an
actionable registration link for those who want to take part in the
Harkin teleconference, so this is the link.  Hope that at least one of
us has the opportunity to weigh in directly with the senator about our
need to fix the Workforce Investment Act.

The minimum wage has only been raised 3 times in the last 30 years.
And the minimum wage for workers with earnings from tips has been
stuck at the impossibly low $2.13/hour since 1991. It is well past
time for a raise. Senator Harkin (D-IA) and Rep. George Miller (D-CA)
are sponsoring The Fair Minimum Wage Act, which would increase the
minimum wage in 3 steps to $10.10/hour.

A large coalition of groups is coming together to make 2014 a year of
action to raise the minimum wage. If you're like us, you are longing
to work towards real improvements in people's lives - a refreshing
alternative to constantly playing defense. Raising the minimum wage
offers that opportunity - and this webinar will get you started (or
give you new tools to work with).

Our distinguished presenters:

Senator Tom Harkin: Senator Harkin is Chair of the Senate Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and the lead Senate sponsor
of legislation to raise the minimum wage. He is in his fifth term in
the Senate, and has announced his retirement at the end of this term.
He is a tireless champion for workers and low-income people.

Christine Owens: Executive Director of the National Employment Law
Project, Chris is a national spokesperson and expert on worker rights,
including the minimum wage and unemployment insurance.

Moderator: Ellen Teller:  Director of Government Relations, Food
Research and Action Center and Chair of the Coalition on Human Needs'
Board of Directors.

minimum wage increase will help workers, families, and the economy,

Co-sponsored by the Coalition on Human Needs and the National
Employment Law Project.
