Journal Article
Working for a Living Wage
2001
Overview
Living wage campaigns seek to require private businesses that benefit from public money to pay their workers a living wage (usually defined as at least enough to bring a family of four to the federal poverty line, currently $8.20 an hour). Over the years, activists have adapted the living wage phrase to a range of campaigns around working conditions, workers' right to organize and corporate accountability.
