Let's REBUILD the American Middle Class with POLICY

[Midnightwalk]

3. New fair labor standards act

I see you added infrastructure.

I’ll add a couple others

Affordable education. Young people have to be able to attend college without incurring a lifetime of debt.

Healthcare. People should be able to get medical care. For people living paycheck to paycheck that means essentially “free”.

I don’t know where you would put livable wages but even that doesn’t capture it. People should be able to live on a single full time job. Short and unpredictable hours mean people are at the beck and call of their employers and makes it hard to juggle multiple jobs.

I think overtime, minumum wage, sufficient and predictable hours could be covered under a Fair Labor Standards Act for the 21st century. Perhaps thatsya good issue for us but might take several individobills to make progress.
