Our Living wage journey

12/10/2017

0 Comments

 
This blog tracks 3 podcasts where firstly I tell my story of how I came to pay a living wage, this is followed by Loice Chaza telling the story of how it impacted her life. Loice worked for us as a domestic worker for several years. After she stopped working for us, she worked for BeanThere Coffee Company who also pay a living wage. BeanThere made a decision to pay a living wage several years ago after reading this blog. Jonathan Robinson in the third podcast tells his journey of how they as a company came to pay a living wage and have come to answer the question what does it mean to live justly.

Nigel "the white guy they don't want you to know about" Branken discusses how he got to pay a living wage, rather than the minimum wage to his then domestic worker, Loice. He helps us understand how this is no small feat, by tying into what we've come to know as our very networked economic machine.
