We Did it Again on the Streets of LA!

Nobody knows better than our LA County Library Pages on the importance of raising the wage to $15 and having a union. With the latest LA County SEIU Local 721 contract, Library Pages like Yolanda Wright are guaranteed $16/hr. and real health insurance years before everybody else.


Statement from President Bob Schoonover on our nation’s first statewide $15 min wage law:

The movement launched by fast food workers three years ago has now completely changed the conversation around income inequality in this country. Today’s historic bill signing shows that when working people unite to fight for living wages and a voice on the job, we win.

Together, we celebrate this unprecedented legislation – but make no mistake: it was Local 721 and the Fight for $15 coalition that led the way. The courage, tenacity, and dedication shown by fast food workers and their allies has made our call for $15 and union rights a reality.
