Santa Fe College Living Wage Campaign Kick-Off
Location: Millhopper Branch Library (3145 NW 43rd St, Gainesville, FL 32606)
The Alachua County Labor Coalition’s living wage movement is coming to Santa Fe College. Learn how the administration has kept wages low, pitted workers against each other, and how increasing democracy in the workplace can address these issues. Please be sure to invite your friends, particularly Santa Fe employees! We’ll be hearing from Santa Fe College employee and Gainesville Mayor Lauren Poe, Alachua County Commissioner Chair Ken Cornell, faculty, staff, and students about the effort to bring more dignity to the workplace at Santa Fe College.
