Collette Tippy [Stand With Dignity], Naima Savage [Show Me 15] and Nolan Watson joined News and Views to talk about the "March for $15 and a Union Rally" Saturday February 7 at Congo Square.
Listeners learned about the fight for $15 Dollar/hr wages and the growing movement for living wages in New Orleans and the other cities across the United States. Organizers break down myths about increased wages being unaffordable for corporations and how increase wages actually create jobs through community wealth building. Our guests also discussed the difference between a minimum wage and a living wage.
