Wage Warriors: A Minimum Wage Forum with FPWA, HSC and FPI

Jennifer Jones Austin, chief executive officer and executive director of the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, James Parrott, deputy director and chief economist of the Fiscal Policy Institute, and Allison Sesso, executive director of the Human Services Council, visited New York Nonprofit Media’s office to discuss their push for a government-funded $15-per-hour minimum wage for the human services sector. "Our sector has to stand up," Sesso said. "A lot of the reasons that people are at our doors to begin with is because the wage gap is too big, that people are not making enough to make ends meet."
