Minimum Wage

October 31, 2006

Minimum_WageBC’s lowest paid workers deserve a raise. Minimum wage earners working full-time should earn enough to stay above the poverty line. That can only be achieved by immediately raising the minimum wage to at least $10.00 per hour.

The provincial government likes to crow about a booming economy, but it’s only booming for a few. BC’s lowest paid workers have been left behind as BC’s minimum wage has been frozen since 2001.

It’s time to scrap the training wage and raise BC’s minimum wage to $10 per hour. That's why the B.C. Fed has joined with the Canadian Federation of Students to launch a campaign to raise BC's minimum wage.
