they identified concrete steps Congress can take to deliver relief, such as raising the minimum wage, protecting the right to organize, and expanding access to paid leave.
Support raising the minimum wage, protecting workers' right to organize, and expanding access to paid leave to deliver relief for workers.
Occurrences
Evidence
Scott said the United States should guarantee paid family and medical leave and called for a strong federal floor to expand access to paid leave.
Scott co-introduced the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, which would raise the federal minimum wage to $17 by 2030 and phase out tipped, youth, and disability subminimum wages.
The committee says every worker has the right to organize for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces, and lists the PRO Act as key legislation.
Assessments
Scott materially advanced all three planks during the current term by co-introducing a 2025 federal minimum-wage bill, publicly pushing federal paid family and medical leave, and backing pro-union legislation and organizing rights through his committee role. But the record provided shows support and legislative effort, not that these worker-relief outcomes were enacted federally. Because the promise was framed around support rather than solely final passage, he earns substantial credit, but not full delivery on the underlying policy results.
