When workers succeed, our businesses, our economy, and our country succeeds. That’s why Senator Murray is focused on supporting working families and the middle class, creating good-paying jobs, and growing the economy in Washington state. She believes we need an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the very top.
Senator Murray is working to strengthen workers’ rights, raise the federal minimum wage, end subminimum wages for tipped workers, youth workers, and workers with disabilities, establish a national paid leave program, and protect and strengthen the right of workers to collectively bargain and unionize. She is a strong supporter and advocate of unions and believes they can make all the difference in ensuring good benefits and safe working conditions for workers across the country.
Senator Murray also recognizes the extreme inequities that persist in our economy. From closing the wage gap to fighting income inequality to protecting workers with disabilities, Senator Murray is committed to addressing these inequities head-on and creating a fairer economy for everyone. She will continue to fight to ensure every worker gets the wages, benefits, working conditions, and support they have earned and deserve.
