Council to Hold Special Hearing on Living Wage Ordinance

Editor's Note: This is THE event in support of fair wages in Albuquerque. We need a very large turnout to counteract the misconceptions about this initiative to put the matter to the voters in October and show that the people are in support of Council Martin Heinrich's efforts. If at all possible, please attend, urge your friends to attend and sign up to testify on behalf of the bill.

From Albuquerque Living Wage:
Next Wednesday, May 25, the City Council will hold a meeting just to debate the proposal to let voters approve an increase in the Albuquerque minimum wage to $7.15.  Please join us! 

We need citizens, business owners, and people who believe that we should reward work with a Living Wage to join our crowd of supporters in person and testify to counteract the alarmist business organizations that are fighting the resolution. The meeting will start at 5:00 PM in the City Council chambers in the basement of 1 Civic Plaza.  In order to testify, one must sign up before 5:30 PM

See you there!
