Ithaca Wal-Mart Living Wage
Sign Now
Whereas a living wage in Tompkins County (Ithaca) New York is $17,544 for a single person (AFCU, 2002);
Whereas Wal-Mart pays many full-time cashiers and sales associates between $14,000 and $15,000 (some earn less than $13,000!) which is less than a living wage;
Whereas employers paying less than a living wage impose a tax burden on the community to provide health and other services for low-wage workers;
Whereas Wal-Mart, with $9,000,000,000 in profit during 2003 alone, is a company that can afford to do better;
Therefore, we, the undersigned residents and friends of the Tompkins County (Ithaca), New York area, urge Wal-Mart to ensure that all full-time employees at the Ithaca store are paid no less than a living wage of $17,544 plus health insurance for the year.

Wal-Mart should not only be paying its employees a living wage, but it should be including health care coverage for all its employees as well.
