What are Living Wage Campaigns?
Living Wage Campaigns are mobilizations by students, faculty, staff and/or other campus employees in demand of improved conditions for the workers of the college of university.
Campaigns tend to happen in schools where the minimum wage paid to any worker on campus is below a certain amount that is needed by a single worker to support a family, in other words, a living wage. This amount can be attained by both or either NGOs or local Government organizations. In general, living wages vary from state to state because of different prices of goods and services.
In the case of Dickinson, minimun wages for recently hired workers can be below a living wage.
