The San Francisco Living Wage Coalition was born out of Labor’s efforts to work with the community in organizing non-union workers. These efforts included using legislative strategies to improve their wages and working conditions, building a workers’ movement and creating the conditions for unionizing. Our efforts initiated a movement that led to trail-blazing local wage and benefit laws and, in conjunction with unions, organizing drives and collective bargaining agreements. The Living Wage Coalition’s current work are workshops and campaigns to organize workers and educate the community on a Five Point Program to reverse income inequality, including protecting and expanding union and public sector jobs; ending mass incarceration by the penal system; stopping the repressive immigration system; fixing a broken welfare-to-work system; and replacing free trade with fair trade.
