Raising the minimum wage lowers child poverty, puts more money in workers' pockets, and doesn't kill jobs. We need $15 for EVERY worker. Tell your Rep. to vote yes on the #RaiseTheWage Act: 866-426-2631

That's outrageous. Unfortunately the most successful way to push for this is through collective action. Can foreign workers join unions in Japan? Perhaps there is an education union that may help.

A human response to Theresa May's resignation must include remembering those who are suffering because of Tory policies.

So much militancy amongst gig workers! And, importantly, forming links with other low paid workers. While Deliveroo riders in London prepare to protest at Deliveroo's shady 'dark kitchens', LA Uber drivers are standing in solidarity with #fightfor15 gizmodo.com/uber-and-lyft-dr…
