[Livingwage] Living Wage needs you

[Belden Fields]

	At 7 pm on Monday, April 12, at the Melon Building on the corner of John 
and New Streets in Champaign, the Living Wage Association of Champaign 
County will propose a living wage policy to the Champaign (Unit 4) School 
Board.  The board presently pays many of its non-teaching staff (e.g., bus 
drivers and cooks) below a living wage, which is now $9.06 per hour.  It 
also contracts out some of the bus driving jobs to the MTD which also pays 
below the living wage.  We are going to ask them to pay each and every 
worker at least $9.06 per hour plus medical benefits.
	When we were successful before the County Board and the Urbana City 
Council, we had the room packed with supporters.  We would like to have the 
Board meeting room packed this time as well.  We need you once 
again.  Please help us out by coming to the meeting.
Thanks very much,
In solidarity,
