LIVING WAGE COALITION RELEASES VOTER GUIDE ON CANDIDATES FOR SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

For the November 8, 2016, election, the San Francisco Living Wage Coalition issued a living wage voter guide on supervisorial candidates. You can find it here

The Coalition mailed a questionnaire to each candidate regarding their positions on issues that impact low-wage workers.

By the deadline, 15 of the 27 candidates responded to these questions. Their responses are in a table here.

The questionnaire tested the knowledge of candidates on San Francisco’s living wage laws and on job training programs for parents in the welfare-to-work transition.

The text of living wage laws (the Minimum Compensation Ordinance and the Health Care Accountability Ordinance) and other information is available at www.sfgov.org/olse

The Coalition is circulating the voter guide to its membership and also distributing it to the press and to the public.
