DC Jobs with Justice is ramping up their minimum wage outreach this week. “Community groups, unions, student-led groups and faith-based organizations have been fighting for a livable wage that allows for comfortable and dignified living,” says DCJWJ Organizing Director Nadia Salazar Sandi. On Friday, July 1st, “the result of a monumental win takes effect: minimum wage increases to $16.10 (tipped wage $5.35)!” Join DCJWJ in the streets Thursday and Friday for ROC Workers Fight Back Outreach + Labor and Trades Unite Outreach. “Amplifying the voices of those affected is part of our core principles and it would not be possible without your participation,” adds Salazar Sandi. “We appreciate your efforts and encourage you to remain engaged in the fight for dignity and respect for domestic workers!” Comments are closed.
