A Quick Update on Northwestern

Today, Unite Here International President John Wilhelm issued a statement in support of the Northwestern Living Wage Campaign.  Just thought we'd take a moment to share:

“Thousands of dining hall workers, janitors, security guards and support staff make our nation’s wonderful universities function. Colleges should strive to create inclusive educational communities that recognize the hard work of those often invisible people who make these beacons of higher education operate on a day to day basis. University budgets should not be balanced on the backs of working people. Our nation’s labor movement is strengthened by students like those involved in Northwestern’s Living Wage Campaign fighting to make sure workers are treated fairly with dignity and respect. Hundreds of thousands of working families across America stand with students at Northwestern in calling for university workers to be paid a living wage.”
