Codding Associates agreed to pay a Living Wage rate to its direct employees. However, we were not able to secure our original objective, which was to include in the CBA a Living Wage provision for the tenants and contractors at the site, which will account for most of the jobs. I think that it would be most appropriate to describe the Living Wage provision in the CBA as aspirational, not mandated.<br /><br />Ben Boyce<br />Living Wage Coalition<br />Director<br />ben.boyce@livingwagesonoma.org<br />www.livingwagesonoma.orgBen Boycehttp://www.livingwagesonoma.orgnoreply@blogger.com
