Senator Bernie Sanders introduced this bill in the Senate. It proposes creating a new federal minimum wage that would increase annually based on inflation.

Why it matters: This is a major policy proposal regarding labor standards, but it is currently just a bill that has been referred to a committee; it does not change any laws until it passes both chambers and is signed by the President.

Who it affects

  • Low-wage workers across the United States
