D.C. Living Wage Bill: Keep Those Calls Coming
Washington, D.C., Mayor Vincent C. Gray still hasn’t said if he will sign or veto the living wage bill for workers at big-box stores such as Walmart. So, as they say on public television telethons, “keep those phones ringing.”
All you need to do is click here and enter your phone number, ZIP code (you must be a D.C. resident) and e-mail. Within a minute, you’ll get a phone call at the number you entered that will connect you directly to Gray’s office.
That’s when you can tell the mayor that signing the Large Retailer Accountability Act ( LRAA ) is the right thing for workers and their families, the communities and the economy. Don’t let Walmart execs and lobbyists be the only ones with Gray’s ear.
Take a look at the latest developments in the fight over the LRAA—which calls for a $12.50 hourly wage—from the Nation’s Josh Eidelson .
