Images of @borja_hannah may be blurry, but this AM's message was clear:
We support paid #TimeOffToCare.
The bills (intro'ed by Dels. @BrianaSewellVA + @guzman4virginia) didn't advance. 😢
#VaLeg should take every remaining opportunity to support #WorkingVirginia.
People/Worker centered is the only way. Thankful for champions like @TCIFiscal CEO @AshcKenneth who get it! Really liking the sound of Virginia being a top state for workers! 💪🏽 #WorkingVirginia
Conversations about business/economy should center the people who drive them — workers — & how we can support them via #wages, #PaidLeave, #PaidSick, #ChildCare, etc

Raising wages thru work-based action (e.g. unions/#CollectiveBargaining) & a higher #MinimumWage. This is a key tool to increase econ. security esp. when combined w/ smart tax policies, e.g. improved #EITC.

Two new statewide initiatives seek to address #childcare costs.
One goes into effect this weekend & will reimburse providers the true cost of care instead of market rate using fed. funds.
The other could save some families $600/yr or more.
Both are critical to #WorkingVirginia
On Oct. 1, Virginia will pilot a new methodology to reimburse child care costs to providers in the state's child care subsidy program. Emily Griffey, chief policy officer for Voices, breaks down the new reimbursement structure to #AxiosRichmond. https://t.co/wSDnaNsKwR

An in-depth take on stagnant and widening "wage gaps" -- due to long-standing discrimination in education, hiring & wages -- highlighted in our recent report.
Plus, action that #VaLeg needs to take in order to improve the state of #WorkingVirginia
"The State of Working VA," from @TCIFiscal & @vainterfaith found:
- Hispanic workers earn $0.68 per $1.
- Black workers earn $0.74 per $1 compared to yt ppl. 🤯
It calls for #minimumwage increases, #paidsickdays, and giving farmworkers overtime $.

During our press conf. this a.m. on "The State of #WorkingVirginia," TCI's @borja_hannah talked about how historic #collectivebargaining efforts have resulted in better wages for working people.
A highlight from our #VaLaborHistory project...
Leaders boast #Virginia as “a top place for business” but this often ignores the well-being of working people.
“The State of #WorkingVirginia” aims to center the conversation on the very people who drive businesses & our economy— workers.

@AshcKenneth @borja_hannah @vainterfaithkim @FreddyMejiaVA #VaLeg still has work to do to ensure increased and continued access to health coverage for #WorkingVirginia, incl. careful planning for the end of PHE & removing barriers related to immigration status - @FreddyMejiaVA
@AshcKenneth @borja_hannah “Data shows that the State of #WorkingVirginia is a complicated one — we’ve made progress that we can be proud of. Much more needs to be done if workers and their families are truly going to share in the commonwealth’s prosperity,” -- @borja_hannah
@AshcKenneth @borja_hannah Labor organizing and #collectivebargaining can have a big impact on the future wages and well-being of working people, says @borja_hannah, and notes the challenges of affording #childcare and accessing unemployment
