Senate committee advances $15 minimum wage
A Senate committee advanced a proposal Wednesday to raise Louisiana’s minimum wage to $15 an hour.
The Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee also moved instruments that will extend the suspension of state laws that trigger higher taxes on employers and lower worker benefits when the unemployment trust fund’s balance is low.
Senate Bill 49 also calls for the minimum wage to be increased each year by the percentage increase in the federal government’s Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
Louisiana doesn’t have a state minimum, so the federal wage floor of $7.25 an hour applies. Sen. Troy Carter, the New Orleans Democrat who authored the bill, said it would help many residents climb out of poverty and benefit the economy by giving low-wage workers more money to spend.
One of two Louisiana bills meant to stop discrimination against African Americans based on natural hair texture and styles passed unanimously in the Labor and Industrial Relations Committee Wednesday.
Introduced by Louisiana Senator Troy Carter, SB61 provides certain prohibitions relative to discrimination based upon hair texture and hairstyles.
“We know that particularly African Americans’ ancestry the natural texture of a man and woman’s hair should be welcomed and accepted, not tamed, or permed or controlled to fit any particular norm,” Carter said during the committee session. “If people choose to wear their hair in its natural form without taming it or perming it, they should be able to do that without being discriminated against and that’s basically what this bill does.”
