Santa Clara County Supervisors are being challenged to see what it’s like to try and make ends meet on a low wage job in Silicon Valley. County Supervisor Dave Cortese, who’s supporting a new, comprehensive living wage county law, took the challenge and said he understands more fully the difficulty low wage workers have surviving in one of the most expensive regions in the U.S.
Working Partnerships USA, The South Bay Labor Council and SEIU Local 521 are holding a press conference tomorrow, Tuesday, October 14, to release a report that illustrates how difficult it is for low wage workers to make it here, and introduces a comprehensive living wage plan for improving the lives of tens of thousands of country contractors. The press conference will be held at the County Building at 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose at 10 a.m.
