Issue Position: Better Jobs and Fairer Treatment for Workers

Issue Position

Carlos is a champion for working families because he understands that Floridians deserve a real living wage, earned sick time and access to affordable medical treatment and lifesaving care. He will always stand up for workers by cracking down on irresponsible corporations that steal wages and treat employees unfairly. Carlos will work with reputable businesses to help create more and better jobs, including for those arriving from Puerto Rico.

Worker's Rights

We will never achieve full equality until every Floridian has the opportunity to earn a fair living wage. Florida's minimum wage currently stands at a meager $8.05 per hour due to failed leadership in Tallahassee. More than ½ of all black workers and more than 60% of Latino workers make less than $15 per hour.
