The Employment Policies Institute, a conservative research organization based in Washington D.C., has released a new smartphone app that is designed to empower and engage business owners who are looking to fight and lobby against minimum wage hikes.
The app rapidly and accurately informs and alerts business owners in the event that any legislation suggesting a potential minimum wage hike is introduced in their area. By informing business owners early, the app empowers people to organize and lobby against wage hikes that increase their labor expenses.
Whether you support minimum wage hikes or not, it's clear that the Wage Engage app is a fine example of smartphone apps being used in lobbying and organizing efforts.
