* City
Council Votes Unanimously for a Living Wage for All with No Exceptions. The amendments expand the law to cover all employers, not just
those with 25 employees or more. This means that starting January 1, 2008 all
employees in the City of Santa Fe must receive at least $9.50 per hour.
Additionally, the amendments establish an automatic
cost of living increase every year, starting January 1, 2009.
Thanks to all of you, as well the Mayor and the City
Councilors, who have worked so hard over the past five years to
make Santa Fe a leader for economic justice.
We gave the Council petitions signed
by more than 3,640 individuals, businesses, and
religious, civic, labor, and community organizations who are supporters of the
amendments. Special thanks to all of you. Click Here to see who signed.
