Colorado City, United States One Fair Wage Full time

One Fair Wage is an organization seeking to raise wages, enhance working conditions

in the service sector and end all subminimum wages in the United States.

With the Great Resignation, millions of workers are refusing to work for subminimum

wages, employers are raising wages to recruit staff, and the political landscape to

advance policy to raise wages has changed dramatically. Given the historic moment,

One Fair Wage has launched an ambitious campaign to advance bills and ballot

measures in 25 states nationwide to raise wages and end subminimum wages in the

US - and through the process, engage millions of unlikely, low-wage worker voters

politically. One Fair Wage is thus advancing policy, voter engagement, employer

engagement, and culture shift activities to ultimately lift millions of tipped workers out of

poverty nationwide and engage them in the political process that governs their lives.
