Action alert: Asheville City Council to Consider Living Wage Again

Just Economics has just learned that Asheville City Council will
consider a living wage proposal for City Contractors at their November
24 meeting. As you know, for the past two years we have been working
hard to win a living wage for City Contractors, to go along with the
living wage for city employees.

Here is our situation now: City staff will make a report to Council
on the issue on November 24. We have not gotten to see the report,
but we are concerned that it may NOT support a living wage for
Contractors.

We need a strong showing from people who believe that City Contractors
should earn a living wage. It is good that Council is considering
this issue again, and we must make sure that they keep moving forward.
At best, we can get positive action on November 24. And at the
least, we can make sure that the incoming Council (to be sworn in
early next month) is ready to make Asheville a real Living Wage City.

Come show your support for the Living Wage: Tuesday, November 24, 6
pm, City Council chambers. Make Asheville a Living Wage City!

Thank you for taking action.
