Gov. Malloy Statement on CVS Health’s Pro-Employee Decisions
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy released the following statement on CVS Health’s decision to raise starting wages for hourly employees to $11 per hour, hold employee health care premiums in check, and create a new paid parental leave policy:
“I applaud CVS Health’s commitment to fairness and equity in the workplace. These three moves – raising their starting hourly wage, keeping health care premiums in check for employees, and implementing a new paid family leave program – are important steps toward ensuring and maintaining economic security for employees. This is more than just the right thing to do; it’s a smart business move. Happy and healthy employees are more productive. It’s why I’m calling on the legislature to increase the minimum wage, expand on our groundbreaking earned sick time legislation, and take further action toward pay equity. In short, Connecticut Fairness is good for the economy.”- Twitter: @GovMalloyOffice
