Tell Wash U. to implement a Living Wage NOW!
Students have been sitting in at Washington University in St. Louis now for 24 hours. After a year and a half of forums, discussions, rallies and the disregarded recommendations of an official "Living Wage Task Force" - the Student Worker Alliance is committed to staying in Brookings Hall until Chancellor Mark Wrighton understands the need for a Code of Conduct that includes a Living Wage.
Tell Chancellor Mark Wrighton that Wash U deserves no less!
Send the email below and give him a call too!

Subject: Implement a Living Wage NOW!
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I support the Student Worker Alliance at Washington University and their nearly two years of work to bring more just working conditions to the Washington University campus.
Their sit-in is an opportunity for you, as Chancellor of Washington University, to understand how much your institution has to gain from the Code of Conduct they propose. Excellent working conditions mean low turnover, better productivity, higher morale.
As one of St. Louis' largest employers, it matters to all of us that Washington University sets a high standard for worker justice.
Students around the country are watching and waiting for you to make the right decision!
Sincerely,
|
