Philadelphia and Surrounding Counties Unite to Advocate for $15 Minimum Wage

In a remarkable show of unity, leaders from Philadelphia and its neighboring counties are joining forces to push for an increase in the minimum wage. This collaborative effort involves twelve Democrats and two Republicans representing a significant portion of Pennsylvania population. Led by Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker these leaders are advocating for a raise to $15 an hour highlighting the urgent need to address the state’s low minimum wage compared to neighboring states like West Virginia and Ohio.
