The legislation proposed by the administration of Joe Biden should be approved by the Senate, given the opposition of the Republicans and a pair of Democrats who could dictate the election of the Mayor of 51 votes needed.
It is not clear who will log his approval without a ballot against the Republicans, as with some Democrats who want to follow up including the lower of the minimum wage in the package.
“The president is campaigning for a minimum wage of $ 15 (the hour), creating a minimum wage of $ 15 has been compromised,” said Brian Deese, director of the National Economic Council of the White House, during an interview. television on MSNBC el viernes por la mañana.
“We are consulting with our allies in Congress … the congressional hearing today is about getting on a truck so we can go ahead with emergencies as it is an urgent issue,” Deese said.
Biden hopes that the salary increase will be part of the ‘Estadounidense Rescue Plan’ of 1.9 trillion dollars, which was created to help families and companies monitor the current crisis of covid-19, but these hopes are exacerbated by technical reasons week.
11 years without adjustment
The minimum wage has been maintained at $ 7.25 over the 2009 period, but has been significantly increased over the past 11 years.
The Democrats in Congress have moved to approve the package of votes without the Republican support using a parliamentary procedure convened as ‘reconciliation’. Although the rules of reconciliation are the only ones that can be approved, there will be an impact on the presumption.
Republicans oppose including a pay rise in the covid-19 aid package, warning that it could put more pressure on companies that are suffering from the economic consequences of the pandemic.
The legal assessor of Senado ( parliamentarian), Elizabeth McDonough, dictated the salaries that the wage increase should not be included in the plan of rescission, and that the strata may be federal presbyteries, known as the ‘Byrd rule’, and establish more relationship with the commercial finances of the sector privado.
The case of McDonough appears to close the door for the auxiliary to adhere to the project of the polling station, giving the Democrats with three options, according to congress experts.
Separate legislation
Biden has promised to prioritize the approval of the salary increase in a separate legislation. “I am prepared as President of the United States in a separate negotiation on the minimum wage to know what it is now”, said Biden through the decision of the assessor McDonough. “Nadie needs to work 40 hours a week and live on the payday loan and is spending less than $ 15 on the hour, is living on the payday loan”, he said.
But some Democrats, backed by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, want to follow suit, not to mention McDonough’s. Sanders, who is the chair of the Presbytery Committee, said that todavia is working to include the minimum wage increase in the Senate package, arguing that a wage increase will definitely tend to be prescriptive.
Used examples passed as a precedent, including a 2017 Republican fiscal license that includes petrol perforation permits. “It is difficult for me to understand the extraction of petroleum in the National Refuge of New Year’s Eve from the Arctic rule complied with the Byrd rule, but the minimum wage increase is not it”, Sanders said in a statement criticizing the decision.
The senators can cancel McDonough’s decision with 51 votes, but it’s probably as good as it gets. By a Lado, two key Democrat senators, Joe Manchin, of West Virginia and Arizona’s Kyrsten Cinema, oponen to increase the minimum federal salary to 15 dollars per hour, claiming that a series of charges has been filed against the companies he saw affecting his debts due to the pandemic.
Some senators have suggested that the minimum wage increase be 11 to 12 dollars per hour, which is the most acceptable series, the quizzes excluding the smaller payday loans to 15 dollars. Some great deals like Amazon, Target, Best Buy and Costco is a document that sueldos a 15 dolares la hora is.
Sanders proposed that the Democrats approve an endeavor to eliminate the tax deductions of large and profitable corporations that are not pagan to those who work less than $ 15 a hour. Various Democrat senators indicate that they support a similar proposal.
What do you have in the package?
The current time and the Democrats need to find a solution to approve the package of help for the coronavirus before March 14, which is the special benefits of covid experience for up to 11 million years. It’s a big package of aid during the pandemic, and the second largest after the 2 trillion dollars worth of Donald Trump in March 2020.
Inside the package of plans the Democrats plan to approve dispositions with direct payments of 1,400 dollars per person, a sample benefit of 400 dollars per week until September, 350,000 million dollars in government and local government assistance, and 70,000 million dollars proof of virus. The también project also includes 170,000 million dollars for K-12 schools and higher education institutions and 30,000 million dollars for childcare assistance and services.
The Mayor of Economists argues that the cost of living has increased from entities and that 7.25 dollars per hour is not a “decent salary” equitable. The cost of living varies throughout the country and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology creates a facility for individuals and workers to calculate what equals a decent wage in the living space.
If the minimum federal salary is increased to $ 15 by 2025, 17 million workers will be “directly impacted” and will be below their salaries, according to an information published on the principles of this month by the Office of the President of the Congress (CBO) , a federal agency geen partidista. A total of 900,000 residents are not living up to their poverty levels if a minimum wage of $ 15 per hour is promised, the CBO estimates.
Without embarrassment, it is estimated that 1.4 million workers will be discharged as a result, according to the CBO’s estimated estimate. The agency says that pierden work costs are due to the highest generational salaries costed by the companies, which are passed on to the customers in the form of more high prices. This is where consumers buy less of their goods and services, says the CBO.
