Bay Socialists Fighting for $15 Now in Walnut Creek

San Francisco Bay is one of most expensive places in the country in which to live and Walnut Creek is even more expensive than the average community in the Bay Area. Yet minimum wage workers are expected to survive on poverty level wages. This forces many to accept public assistance in order to feed their families. In Walnut Creek as elsewhere this means that tax payers are subsidizing corporations who refuse to pay a living wage. Over 70% of minimum wage workers in this country are women and many of them are forced to work part-time even though they are the primary bread-winner for the family, because they also are required to do most of the domestic unpaid labor in the home. The Bay Area Socialists (SPUSA) demands that all workers be paid a living wage in this country. That is why we are supporting this effort here in Walnut Creek as in other Bay Area cities to raise the wages of workers.
