Ending Poverty As We Know It: Guaranteeing a Right to a Job at a Living Wage
Ending Poverty As We Know It: Guaranteeing a Right to a Job at a Living Wage
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In cities and counties across the country Americans are asserting their right to a job at a living wage. This campaign has been built around the idea that those who work full time are entitled to live above the real poverty line. Professor and public interest lawyer William Quigley, who helped lead the fight to give the workers of New Orleans a raise, presents the moral case for doing so, and argues that Americans should codify the right to a job at a living wage in the Constitution.
