Living wage activism has spanned time and space, reaching across
decades and national boundaries. Conditions generating living wage
movements early in the twentieth century have resurfaced in the
twenty-first century, only on a global scale: 'sweated' labour,
macroeconomic instability, and job insecurity. Upon reviewing the
empirical evidence, the book's contributors make strong cases both
for and against living wage activism. The effective blend of
historical, contemporary, and global perspectives provides
opportunities for teachers, scholars, and activists to evaluate how
we can address low pay at the organizational and macroeconomic
levels.
