Trade Review

Despite surprising successes in the passage of living-wage ordinances around the country, implementation often has been lackadaisical. The experiences of the living wage movement described in this work will interest those concerned with promoting or analyzing social movements. Individuals interested in studying administrative practices also will profit from this book. Clear, jargon-free writing makes it accessible to undergraduates while still offering important lessons to advanced scholars. Highly recommended.
