Senators propose $15-per-hour federal minimum wage
A proposed federal act would raise the federal minimum wage law to $15 an hour on January 1, two U.S. senators announced on Tuesday. The Service Employee International Union was fighting for that wage in 2021 (pictured). File Photo by Tasos Katopodis/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- The federal minimum wage would rise to $15 per hour, with annual cost-of-living increases based on inflation, in a proposed bipartisan measure. Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Peter Welch, D-Vt., co-sponsored the bill that they have named the "Higher Wages for American Workers Act" and would increase the federal minimum wage from its current $7.25 per hour for non-exempt workers. "For decades, working Americans have seen their wages flatline," Hawley said on Tuesday in a joint press release with Welch. "One major culprit of this is the failure of the federal minimum wage to keep up with the economic reality facing hardworking Americans every day," Hawley added. Welch said inflation and rising costs are making it too hard for families to afford basic necessities. "We're in the midst of a severe affordability crisis, with families in red and blue states alike struggling to afford necessities like housing and groceries," Welch said. "A stagnant federal minimum wage only adds fuel to the fire," he continued. "Every hardworking American deserves a living wage that helps put a roof over their head and food on the table -- $7.25 an hour doesn't even come close." "Times have changed, and working families deserve a wage that reflects today's financial reality," Welch added. Hawley said the current federal minimum wage is less than what a worker earned in 1940 when adjusted for inflation. If the proposed federal minimum wage increase is passed into law, it would take effect on Jan. 1 and allow cost-of-living increases that match inflation in subsequent years. Many states have respective minimum wage laws that exceed the current and proposed federal minimum wage, but a dozen still were at the federal minimum wage in 2024. Many large employers also have higher minimum wages, including Walmart, which has paid its workers at least $14 an hour and often more since 2023. President Joe Biden in 2021 ordered the federal government to pay contract workers at least $15 an hour. California lawmakers in 2022 raised the state's minimum wage for many fast-food workers to up to $22 an hour.

JERA close to signing deal for 1 MTPA of LNG from Commonwealth, sources say
By Curtis Williams HOUSTON (Reuters) -U.S. liquefied natural gas developer Commonwealth LNG is close to signing a deal with Japan's biggest power generator, JERA, to supply it with 1 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of LNG from its proposed export facility in Louisiana, two sources told Reuters. The deal would run for 20 years and bring Commonwealth LNG to 8 mtpa committed under long-term contracts. The company has said publicly that it wants to get contracts for at least 8 mtpa of its 9.5 mtpa LNG export terminal capacity to give the project the financial go ahead. The U.S. is the largest exporter of LNG in the world and based on projects under construction and those expected to get the financial go ahead this year, the country could triple its export capacity by 2030. "They have agreed to terms on the deal and should be signing it soon," one of the sources familiar with the negotiations told Reuters. Commonwealth LNG did not respond to a request for comment. JERA declined to comment. Commonwealth was one of the projects impacted by a pause on new LNG export licenses imposed by former President Joe Biden pending a study on the economic and environmental impact of further U.S. LNG expansion. That freeze was lifted by the Trump administration, which has promised to unleash American energy. In February Commonwealth received a conditional non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export authorization from the Department of Energy. Commonwealth said it expects to reach a final investment decision in September 2025 for the project, with first LNG production expected in the first quarter of 2029. In May JERA announced that it had signed an agreement with NextDecade to purchase 2 mtpa of LNG from its Rio Grande project's fifth liquefaction facility.
