Disclaimer: The following description was created before the live broadcast aired and thus may not accurately reflect the content of the actual broadcast. Twenty states have raised the minimum wage starting in January, some through ballot measures. And while Republican control of Congress makes a federal hike unlikely, grassroots campaigns across the country shift their efforts to voters and local governments. Experts discuss these campaigns with a focus on migrant workers of various legal statuses in low-wage industries. They also discuss specific changes affecting migrant guest workers, as well as steps to ensure workers are paid a fair wage. Guests: Neidi Dominguez, Assistant Director for Community Engagement, AFL-CIO, Washington, DC; Ali Beydoun, Director of Litigation, Farmworker Justice, Washington, DC; Sarah Rempel, Policy Director, Centro de los Derechos del Migrante.
