Fight for $15 and Fairness - Hamilton

Fight for $15 and Fairness - Hamilton We're fighting for a $15 minimum wage & fairness at work in Hamilton, and in solidarity with workers Ontario workers are struggling to get by. Questions?

More and more decent jobs are being replaced by low-wage work. We need a minimum wage that brings workers above the poverty line. The minimum wage was frozen at $10.25 an hour for four years. Thanks to more than a year of organizing across the province by the Campaign to Raise the Minimum Wage, the government was forced to increase the minimum wage to $11 an hour in 2014 and to peg the minimum wag

e to the cost of living. In 2015, indexation to inflation raised the minimum wage to $11.25, effective Oct. 1. But even with indexation at $11.25, workers are left more than 16% below the poverty line – that is almost $4,000 below the poverty line per year. That’s why our fight for $15 is more important than ever! Comments? Want to get involved? Email us at [email protected]
