Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg released his plans for American workers on Saturday that promises raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, strengthening union protections and other concessions.<\/p>\n

His proposals include<\/a> signing legislation that would raise the minimum wage, providing employees with 12 weeks of paid family leave and seven days of paid sick leave, expanding overtime protections, prohibiting \u201cright to work\u201d laws for private-sector unions, preventing gender discrimination through several legislations, and guaranteeing the right to unionize and bargain collectively to public sector employees.<\/p>\n

The plan would also expand protections for undocumented workers by ensuring that they can join unions, report labor violations, and receives remedies without being afraid of immigration consequences.<\/p>\n

He also said that his plans will protect pensions and retirement savings by passing legislation and provide workers in the \u201cgig economy\u201d with full employee benefits.<\/p>\n

The former New York City mayor has already spent over $300 million on his bid for the presidency, outpacing most of his rivals. Analysts from Advertising Analytics said that Bloomberg has dropped $345 million on the 2020 race<\/a> between November\u2014when he launched his campaign\u2014and February.
