Sablan wants prompt renewal of Palau Compact

He called for a greater sense of urgency on approval of the overdue agreement and a sense of perspective with respect to the cost of the renewal.“”We are nickel and dimeing Palau,” Sablan said of the reluctance to find acceptable funding to continue the Compact with Palau for another 15 years. The proposed agreement cuts funding from the first 15-year total by 62 percent.Sablan compared the situation to ...

Hearing on Marianas economic, labor issues set for Tuesday The House Subcommittee on Indian, Insular, and Alaska Native Affairs holds an oversight hearing this Tuesday, September 13 on the economic impacts of the Commonwealth-only worker (CW) program in the Northern Mariana Islands. I had asked Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop (R-Utah) for this opportunity to highlight economic progress in the Marianas and lay out the challenges to continued growth, especially the availability of labor. Governor Ralph Torres and Mr. Alex Sablan, Chair of the Strategic Economic Development Council’s CW and Labor Task Force, whom the Committee invited to testify, will make the case for legislative action and lay out the Commonwealth’s efforts to expand its U.S. workforce. The hearing will be streamed live on the committee website at http://naturalresources.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=401108. |
Minimum wage to increase September 30 The federal minimum wage in the Northern Mariana Islands goes up to $6.55 per hour on September 30. Raising the minimum wage is one way to bring more U.S. workers into the Marianas economy and it may be having an effect. Since the wage began to rise in 2007 the number of U.S. workers (inclusive of workers from the Freely Associated States) has risen from 13,246 to 15,137, according to data from the Commonwealth government. And the average wage paid to U.S. workers has increased from $10,685 to $14,296 per year during this same period of time. Next year the wage increases again to $7.05 and then to the U.S. $7.25 per hour in September 2018. I am a cosponsor of H.R. 2150, legislation to lift the minimum wage further, to $12 per hour nationwide with annual increases after that to be determined by the U.S. Department of Labor. |

Be prepared for emergencies September is National Preparedness Month – a time to check to make sure that you and your family are ready in case of a typhoon, earthquake, or other emergency. Each week this month we will focus on one aspect of being prepared with some tips and tools from FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This week’s theme is Preparing Family & Friends. Does everyone in your family know where to go for safety? Does everyone have everyone’s phone number or e-mail address? Do you have a plan to meet or bring family members to one secure location if there is an emergency? Answers to these kinds of questions can be especially important for children, elders, and persons with disabilities to know. So make a family emergency communication plan. Consider that your entire family may not be together during a disaster and plan for how you will find each other after an emergency. And be prepared for any unique needs of the young or elderly in your family, so they can al |
