The San Francisco Living Wage Coalition was born out of Labor\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
The Living Wage Coalition\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
