On National Miners Day, Dec. 6, we remember the 362 lives lost in the 1907, Monongah mine disaster and throughout the history of mining in the United States. It’s also a day we recognize the critical work performed by today’s miners, which provides important materials we all use in our daily lives.

As we rebuild our economy, we continue to lead the nation in the fight for economic justice. Today's increase in the state minimum wage to $15 an hour on Long Island and in Westchester is an investment in our workers and proof that in New York we believe a fair day's work deserves a fair day's pay.
