$15/hour and Union Rights for Charlotte City Workers!

Workers in the city of Charlotte can’t survive on any less than $15/hour. The Living Income Standard, a tool to measure the minimum of what it takes to get by, for 1 adult and 1 child here is $17.16. We join Charlotte city workers' call for a minimum wage of at least $15/hour and union rights!

Why is this important?

We stand with Charlotte, NC city workers who are fighting to raise wages to at least $15/hour , expand union rights, and to demand a city workers bill of rights that builds power and addresses the many issues facing city workers in Charlotte.
