Discussion: University Of California Raising Minimum Wage To $15 For All Workers

Discussion for article #238655

Yes!! - and may this be the beginning of a trend across college campuses. At my university, I was proud of a student group which lobbied our upper administration for the adoption of a living wage for all employees. While they were not successful (They were basically dismissed.), it reminds me that young people are still willing to stand up for needed improvements in our society.

It is good news, though somewhat tempered by the fact that $15 per hour in California wouldn’t pay the rent on a cardboard box.

True - $15 an hour is just a step in the right direction.

The bill Congress should pass: $15/hr. and each year should go up at the same percentage as inflation.
