We, the undersigned, call on McMaster University to ensure all workers employed by the university, any service providers who employ contract workers under a McMaster University contract, and any on-campus retailers/services licensed to employ workers be paid at least a living wage as calculated for the city of Hamilton.

Currently, a portion of our campus community workers do not earn enough to pull themselves and their families out of poverty. McMaster University needs to be part of the solution to poverty in Hamilton, not contributing to the problem.

This is why we, the undersigned members of the McMaster Community, call on McMaster University to ensure that every worker under the banner of the university gets at least a living wage.
