Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Student Labor Action Project.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Twelve students at the University of Vermont are forgoing food until the Administration takes action and signs an agreement to implement a livable wage for its workers. Members of the Student Labor Action Project (SLAP) stepped up their campaign Friday after President Daniel Mark Fogel rejected the proposed livable wage measures. Starting Monday, students are refusing food until Fogel signs the agreement.

Livable wage is a calculated earning based on the costs of living as determined by the State of Vermont's Joint Fiscal Office. The Joint Fiscal Office adjusts the livable wage to meet the rising costs of living. The current livable wage for 2007 is set at $13.62 per hour.
