The Coalition for a Real Minimum Wage is made up of the Chinese Staff & Workers Association, Community Development Project – Urban Justice Center, Flushing Workers Center, Hunger Action Network, National Mobilization Against SweatShops and our allies. We urge Gov. Cuomo to right his wrongs in his new minimum-wage law by acting now to:

• Increase the minimum wage of tipped workers
• Enforce and strengthen the labor law regarding minimum wage
• Repeal his bill’s subsidies for corporations which pits younger against older workers
• Increase the minimum wage to at least $10 in the coming year (indexed to inflation)
