Fair Wages and Opportunity

District Four residents have been forced to take up multiple jobs, and thousands have lost their jobs due to the Trump-DOGE mass layoffs. The wealthy few have continued to get richer, while everyday Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

But Courtney has a real plan to:

• Enact fair scheduling laws that help create predictable schedules and incomes for hourly workers.

• Work to secure federal appropriations for workforce development and job training programs that bring high-paying jobs back to Greenville and Spartanburg

• End the tipped minimum wage and raise the federal minimum wage to a family-sustaining level that increases annually with the cost of living.

• Establish industry-wide standards for job quality, including a process for establishing a wage and benefit floor.

• Fully fund the IRS and empower staff to hold the rich who cut corners accountable.
