Motion to Recommit: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

Mar. 15, 2013 | H.R. 803
While the Republican bill would reauthorize the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), it also would consolidate 35 employment and training programs into a single funding stream for state and local use and eliminate some services among many changes to WIA. Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) offered a motion to recommit the bill with an amendment that would clarify that nothing in the bill would repeal, deny or loosen employment protections, training opportunities or educational benefits for certain seniors, veterans, women or youth. The amendment also would also increase the federal minimum wage to $10.10 within two years of the bill's enactment. The measure was rejected.

This is Good for working people.
