Making a Living: Challenging Wage Inequality
July 21, 1999
Listen/download helpA growing number of cities in the United States have passed living wage ordinances, legislation that requires contractors with local governments to pay their employees enough money to support their families. Such measures have met intense opposition from corporations and small businesses. But, a few businesses owners have broken ranks. On this program, you'll hear from two business owners who want to narrow the wage gap.
Featuring:
Chuck Collins, co-director, United for a Fair Economy; Krishna Fells, chair, Business Owners of Washington State; Barry Hermanson, founder and owner, Hermanson’s Employment Services, co-chair of San Francisco Living Wage Coalition.
