Lee County Workers Deserve a Raise
Employees of Lee County in Florida are struggling to provide for their families. These workers keep our community safe and provide vital services every day. It’s time to give them a raise!
Why is this important?
Lee County commissioners work part time but make more than $87,000 a year. That’s more than double what some Lee County employees make working full time.
These bus drivers, animal control workers, waste and water treatment operators and other public service workers, who provide vital services to taxpayers and keep our communities safe every day, continue to be denied raises. Many of them are struggling to keep up with their mortgages and put food on the tables for their families.
If Lee County commissioners can make a living wage, why can’t workers, too? Sign the petition to tell commissioners it’s far past time to give workers a raise.
