Blue States Better For Workers
Blue States Better For Workers
Red and blue states diverging on helping workers, says W. Post's Harold Meyerson: " While states under Republican rule are weakening workers' ability to bargain with employers and reducing the pay of construction workers, states and cities where Democrats dominate are hiking the minimum wage, requiring employers to grant paid sick days and even considering penalizing large employers who don't pay their workers enough."
