Tuesday, May 13, 2014 Take Action! Tell Congress to Reject the NRA’s Wage-Crushing Agenda
The National Restaurant Association or the “Other NRA” is a lobbing powerhouse doing the dirty work of many Fortune 500 restaurant corporations like McDonald’s, Darden, and Taco Bell. NRA is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) where it has pushed a measure to ban paid leave ordinances at the local level. (They don’t want to give those restaurant workers a day off when they have the flu!) It is a leading opponent of raising the minimum wage in states, helping Oklahoma’s governor ban local paid sick days and minimum wage hikes in one fell swoop! Plus, the NRA has successfully kept the tipped minimum wage at $2.13 since 1991! Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, Mark Fiore, takes the Other NRA'scorporate agenda of profits over people to task in his new video, check it out here and then take action below! Tell your elected officials that you find the NRA’s wage-crushing agenda hard to stomach! Click here to take action! |
