"On Monday, February 22, the state of Alabama honored supermarket employees for the first time ever. Governor Ivey declared it to be “Supermarket Employee Day”. She made the declaration on the state capitol steps."
I'm guessing the best thing Kay Ivey could do to help grocery store workers and a lot of other Alabama employees would be to support increasing the minimum wage...currently $7.24 an hour...which hasn't gone up since 2009.
Fun fact: It was .75 an hour when I was born. (Of course a new car that year cost $1,510)
