Description

Join activist and author Saru Jayaraman, Director of the Food Labor Research Center at UC Berkeley, to learn about underpaid US workers. The federal tipped minimum wage since 1991 (yes, that is thirty years) has been $2.13. Prior to COVID, six million people that we are aware of worked off this system, meaning when the pandemic hit, tons of them lost their jobs and the varied security that came with them. In Jayaraman’s newest book, she “shines a light on these workers, illustrating how the people left out of the fight for a fair minimum wage are society’s most marginalized." Note that all attendees will need to show proof of vaccination and to wear a mask during the program. Attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination and wear a mask during the event.
