living wage movement  

Définition(s)

  • No social movement in the United States since the end of the Cold War has shown more staying power, or wider appeal, than the living wage movement. In just over a decade, from the passage of the first major living wage law in Baltimore in late 1994 through the passage of the Philadelphia ordinance in May 2005, 130 cities and counties enacted living wage ordinances—laws that typically say that businesses getting city contracts or subsidies must pay their employees enough to stay out of poverty.
