Dems Push Attorney General on Minimum Wage Enforcement
September 16th, 2015 by flanewsFlorida Democrats are pushing the state’s Attorney General to do more in enforcing the state’s minimum wage so employees aren’t getting skirted out of money.
Representative Jose Rodriguez and Senator Dwight Bullard say that too many Floridians are getting paid the amount they should for the hours they worked. They say a full time minimum wage earner only makes around 17 thousand dollars a year, so every penny counts.
“We’re calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office to do is start enforcing the minimum wage in a way that really has an impact and that matters. To get out there, educate, do outreach, and make sure people know that we have a minimum wage that protects them,” said Rep. Rodriguez (D-Miami).
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office responded in a statement saying she has addressed every claim submitted to her office and that Rep. Rodriguez has not brought any new claims to her attention.
