Province-Wide Day of Action Calling for $14 Minimum Wage

Province-Wide Day of Action Calling for $14 Minimum Wage

ID: 287115

(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 08/13/13 -- At a province-wide day of action on Wednesday August 14th, communities from around Ontario will call for a $14 minimum wage. Local groups will carry out creative actions on the 14th of every month until a minimum wage increase is announced.

Ontario's minimum wage has been frozen for 3 years, while the cost of living continues to rise. The Ontario government recently announced a minimum wage advisory panel to study a possible increase in the minimum wage. Advocates argue the minimum wage should bring workers and their families above the poverty line. That means Ontario's minimum wage should be $14 in 2013. A minimum wage increase is an investment in healthy communities and good jobs for workers in Ontario.

Creative actions are taking place in Toronto, Ottawa, Oshawa, Hamilton, Peterborough, Guelph, York Region, Windsor, Kitchener-Waterloo and Sudbury on August 14th and include Monopoly Street Theatre (Oshawa), a pop-up street party (Toronto) and a pots and pan rally (Ottawa).

Local actions on Wednesday August 14th and contacts:

The Campaign to Raise the Minimum Wage is coordinated by ACORN, Freedom 90, Mennonite New Life Centre, OCAP, Ontario Campaign 2000, Parkdale Community Legal Services, Put Food in the Budget, Social Planning Toronto, Toronto and York Region Labour Council and Workers' Action Centre.
