MAYOR LONDON BREED ON MINIMUM COMPENSATION ORDINANCE AGREEMENT

Today, Mayor London N. Breed, the Board of Supervisors, and labor leaders reached an agreement to increase wages for some of San Francisco’s lowest paid workers, in-home supportive care workers and nonprofit workers under City contracts.

“At a time when our city is becoming more expensive to live in, I am proud that we were able to work collaboratively with labor leaders and the Board of Supervisors to provide this much needed wage increase to some of San Francisco’s lowest paid workers. These individuals serve many of our most vulnerable - our senior and disabled populations - and ensure critical support services continue to be available for our residents. It is important that they receive a fair wage so they can continue to do this essential work and remain a part of our communities.”
