Story behind the song
Tom describes the Hamilton Living Wage project in Hamilton and the growth of Living Wage initiatives across North America. The living wage project has developed a consistent living wage definition and calculation methodology. In Hamilton, a living wage is $14.95 an hour. Don Wells discusses the current challenges at McMaster with contract negotiations with cleaning staff who currently make much less than the living wage.
