Strategy Background on Living Wage

The living wage movement is made up of coalitions of community and labor organizations and other progressive allies, including many enlightened business leaders, working to enact laws at the local level requiring that city employees and the employees of companies benefitting from city contracts, subsidies, or actions be paid enough to support themselves and their families.
