Young on Impact of Increased Penalties for Child Labor Violators
Young on Impact of Increased Penalties for Child Labor Violators YouTube video by Pa. House Video

Last year, my bill to double the penalties for child labor violations passed in the #PaHouse so I was interested to speak with the Dept. of Labor & Industry about trends in violations & the impact of increased penalties on those who exploit our children for labor.

Young on PEMA Flood & Hazard Mitigation Efforts YouTube video by Pa. House Video

If you live in Eastwick or other flood-prone communities in our area, you know that we have issues with severe weather. In a #PaBudget hearing with PEMA I asked about the impact of their flood & hazard mitigation projects, and how they're making communities more resilient. youtu.be/TvIQeHon-C8

It's WAY past time for PA to raise its minimum wage. We've been stuck at $7.25 an hour since 2009 β€” that is simply unacceptable! #JoinTheConversation TODAY by adding your name to our petition to reach One Million Signatures to #RaiseTheWage!

If we're going to #EndHumanTrafficking, we need to take the fight to where the danger is. My bill would ensure folks who work in lodging & online reservations get training to know the warning signs & how to report suspected trafficking. #HumanTraffickingAwarenessMonth
