A wage hike is desperately needed for the American working class, but higher wages can’t pay the bills if you want full-time hours and can’t get them. Legislation mandating a right to full-time work could fix this.

Half or more of workers at companies like Starbucks, Target, and Kohl’s are working part-time hours — in Starbucks’s case, one hour fewer per week than they would need to qualify for benefits.

    The sentiment is trying to be positive(?) but draws the wrong conclusion.
    Everyone deserves a living wage, education, and health care.

    A right to work plus, universal healthcare, housing, education, livable climate, and transportation. All should be basic rights!
