Public Forum on Unions Aiding Women in Work
A letter from Willy Ray argues for unions to raise wages for women in service jobs in Chetwynd and area. He contends many employers seek profits, some industries unionize and pay fair wages, and minimum wage should rise so work pays a livelihood. He criticizes hospitality pay limits and political leaders for ignoring working families.
