Economic Human Rights In Champaign County: A Living Wage |
|
by Belden Fields (via Sascha) |
04 Oct 2002
|
In solidarity with the Break the Blackout conference being held this weekend in Philidelphia (for more information see: www.philyimc.org), the following article is being posted on our features section to help raise awareness of the need for anti-poverty measures and economic justice:
The expression 'living wage', and the concept that underlies it, goes back at least as far as Rerum Novarum, the encyclical issued by Pope Leo XIII on May 5, 1891. The moral imperative that it expresses, so important to progressive social Catholicism in the first half of the twentieth century, made its way after the Second World War into the human rights documents issued under the auspices of the United Nations. Article 23, Paragraph 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1948 reads, "Everyone who works has the right to just and favorable remuneration, insuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection." The 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights calls in Article 7 for workers' entitlement to "fair wages and equal remuneration for work of equal value" and "a decent living for themselves and their families."
The Champaign County Living Wage Association invites people to visit its web site at www.prairienet.org/livingwage/. It can also be contacted by mail and phone at
PO Box 953, Urbana 61803; 344-5609. |
