HOUSE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The hard-working people of the State of Illinois
depend on their wages to support themselves and their families;
and
WHEREAS, Many people in the State only receive minimum wage
or an amount that does not suit their qualifications and work
load; and
WHEREAS, Studies have shown that people do not ask for
raises from their bosses for numerous reasons, including the
fears that they do not deserve more money at their job, that
their request for more money will be rejected, that they lack
the necessary skills in negotiation to get a raise, and that
they would be fired from their job if they ask for a raise; and
WHEREAS, The members of this body believe in the
empowerment of those hard-working individuals that wish to have
an income commensurate with the hard work and long hours that
they devote to their places of employment; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE
HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we
designate the month of March in 2017 and 2018 as Ask Your Boss
for a Raise Month in order to raise awareness of the

HR0013 - 2 - LRB100 04168 MST 14174 r
difficulties faced by the hard-working men and women of the
State in receiving the wages that they deserve; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That we show our unwavering support to those men
and women who seek better wages from their employers.
