Call on UT Health Science
Center to Meet with Laid Off Workers
Despite receiving over $30 million in federal and state stimulus funds
intended to prevent layoffs, UTHSC has laid off 33 workers, many of them
low-wage. Call on UTHSC Chancellor Schwab to meet with laid off workers,
stop future layoffs, and disclose how layoff decisions were made.

Urge
University of Memphis to Pay Its Workers a Living Wage
Sign WIN's petition to President Raines and
urge her to move all
University of Memphis employees up to a living wage. A
new study by
economist David Ciscel finds that in 2010, a living wage for a family of
four where both parents work full-time is $11.62 an hour. Many
University of Memphis employees earn much less - in some cases only the
minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
Call
on Safari Tapas Bar to Stop Wage Theft A
worker from yet another downtown Memphis restaurant is partnering with
WIN to try to recover her stolen wages. Safari World Tapas Bar
owes former cook Zorina Bowen nearly $1,500 in unpaid wages.
Email Safari now to support Ms. Bowen in her struggle for justice.
