La Coalición de San Francisco par los Sueldos Justos fue iniciada en 1998 por unas uniones trabajadoras, organizaciónes de la communidad y congregaciónes religiosas para desarrollar un movimiento democrático encabezado por los trabajadores de pago bajo.
As a result of a grass-roots campaign, San Franciscos living wage laws - called the Minimum Compensation Ordinance (passed in 2000) and the Health Care Accountability Ordinance (passed in 2001) - require that businesses with a service contract with the City or property lease at the Airport must pay workers at least $11.03 per hour, provide 12 paid days off per year and provide health care coverage. In addition, businesses leasing other property from the City must provide health care coverage as a condition of their lease.
By the City's estimates, more than 30,000 workers have benefited.
In 2004, we worked with eight other organizations in the Minimum Wage Coalition to get a ballot initiative passed - the Minimum Wage Ordinance - that created a municipal minimum wage that covers everyone working at least two hours per week in San Francisco. The City minimum wage is currently $9.36 per hour, with annual cost-of-living adjustments based on increases in the Consumer Price Index for the Bay Area.
