Last year, Nebraskans came together to tell the Legislature HANDS OFF our voter-approved minimum wage law.
Now, ❌ LB258 (Raybould) – a bill that will harm workers by severely weakening Nebraska’s minimum wage law by carving out a subminimum wage for young workers AND placing a harmful cap on the cost of living increases that 58% of Nebraskans voted for – is back. If passed as is, young workers would see a pay decrease from $15/hour to $13.50/hour, and would not see a raise in their minimum wage until 2030. On top of that, the restrictive new cap on the annual adjustments we voted for would cause Nebraska’s wages to once again fall behind the cost of living.
Senator Paul Strommen has made ❌ LB258 his priority bill for 2026, and it could be up for Final Reading as soon as this Friday, February 6.
As the price of food, housing, and other necessities continue to go up every day, it’s more critical than ever that we ensure that Nebraska’s minimum wage keeps up with the cost of living so hardworking families can thrive.
Contact your State Senator NOW and tell them to VOTE NO on LB258. Because every Nebraskan should receive fair pay that keeps up with the cost of living:
Nebraskans came together in 2022 to make sure that our state has a minimum wage that values our labor regardless of age AND ensures that wages do not once again fall behind the cost of living. We must continue the fight to protect this voter-approved law in 2026.
Thank you for making your voice heard!
