1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The hard-working people of the State of Illinois | ||||||
3 | depend on their wages to support themselves and their families; | ||||||
4 | and
| ||||||
5 | WHEREAS, Many people in the State only receive minimum wage | ||||||
6 | or an amount that does not suit their qualifications and work | ||||||
7 | load; and
| ||||||
8 | WHEREAS, Studies have shown that people do not ask for | ||||||
9 | raises from their bosses for numerous reasons, including the | ||||||
10 | fears that they do not deserve more money at their job, that | ||||||
11 | their request for more money will be rejected, that they lack | ||||||
12 | the necessary skills in negotiation to get a raise, and that | ||||||
13 | they would be fired from their job if they ask for a raise; and
| ||||||
14 | WHEREAS, The members of this body believe in the | ||||||
15 | empowerment of those hard-working individuals that wish to have | ||||||
16 | an income commensurate with the hard work and long hours that | ||||||
17 | they devote to their places of employment; therefore, be it
| ||||||
18 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
19 | HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we | ||||||
20 | designate the month of March in 2017 and 2018 as Ask Your Boss | ||||||
21 | for a Raise Month in order to raise awareness of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | difficulties faced by the hard-working men and women of the | ||||||
2 | State in receiving the wages that they deserve; and be it | ||||||
3 | further
| ||||||
4 | RESOLVED, That we show our unwavering support to those men | ||||||
5 | and women who seek better wages from their employers.
