Abstract:

In mid-November 2015, a group of Orange County activists launched a grassroots effort to stand up for the county’s low-paid state workers. The protest, called The Orange County Living Wage Project, hopes to raise Orange County’s minimum wage to $12.7-an-hour—the amount that most labor experts believe is a living wage in the county. The project plans to offer certifications for business owners who promise to meet this new wage for all of their workers.
