Shhh, don’t tell her that!
Well, Fawn is a member of ACORN... who would have thunk it?
On July 13th, North Carolina enacted a $1 increase in the minimum wage, so that it will reach $6.15 an hour by January, 2007. The raise will affect 139,000 workers. “Finally, North Carolina workers get the raise they deserve. People all over the state are struggling to get by and this is just the first step to making sure that people are paid a fair wage for their work,” said ACORN member Fawn Townsend. North Carolina ACORN is a founding member of North Carolinians for a Fair Wage, which includes Common Sense Foundation, Institute for Southern Studies, NAACP, NC-AFL-CIO, NC Council of Churches, NC Fair Share, NC Justice Center, Southerners for Economic Justice, and Working Families Win.
