Make Work Pay

Click here to go back to Issues, Campaigns and Projects

Effective Date: Thursday, January 24, 2008

FFAW/CAW supports the Newfoundland and Labrador Make Work Pay Coalition which is dedicated to improving the living standards of our province’s lowest paid and most vulnerable workers and their families by fighting for a just wage, a living wage. Jointly, we believe that no person working full-time should be earning below the poverty line. Our goal is to ensure the minimum wage is a just wage.

The provincial government has committed to reducing poverty – to having the least poverty in the country. One way to do this is to ensure working people are not earning poverty wages, but rather a living wage.
