Time for a Real Raise: The Nova Scotia Minimum Wage by John Jacobs Pdf

Increasing the minimum wage impacts not only the workers receiving the minimum wage. [...] The stagnation of the minimum wage over the past two decades is at least partially responsible for the plight of the working poor in Nova Scotia, many of whom earn somewhat more than the minimum wage. [...] Providing a real increase in the minimum wage would boost the wages of these and many more workers in need of a raise. [...] It addresses the economic impact of the minimum wage in the context of an economy that is producing too many low wage jobs, and considers some of the arguments against increasing the minimum wage. [...] The minimum wage sets a social standard or tone, and many public debates, as well as innumerable disputes inside the workplace, use the minimum wage as an implicit guide to construct arguments, to assess all wage scales, to measure the relative standards of one's enterprise.1 When the minimum wage is increased it creates an upward pressure on other wages.

Minimum Wages in Canada by Ken Battle,Caledon Institute of Social Policy Pdf

This study charts trends and rankings of minimum wages in Canada's ten provinces and three territories, as well as in the form of a national weighted average. It establishes a set of baseline indicators that will be updated regularly to provide an invaluable time series on minimum wages and minimum wage workers in Canada. Researchers will be able to analyze in depth trends and patterns in minimum wages and minimum wage workers both nationally and from one jurisdiction to another across the country. Policy makers, administrators and researchers will have a unique source of comprehensive information from which to cull evidence that can help inform and test their arguments.

Rising Up traces the history and international context of living wage movements across Canada. This compassionate and astute collection of essays shines a light on alternatives to a neoliberalized labour market, examining union- and community-based approaches to labour organizing, migrant labour, and media (mis)representations, among other key topics.

Bringing Minimum Wages Above the Poverty Line by Stuart Murray,Hugh Mackenzie Pdf

This study shows that raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour (in 2005 dollars) is do-able - in fact, it has been done in Canada in the past. The real (after-inflation) minimum wage in BC reached $10.15 per hour in 1976, and a number of other jurisdictions have had real minimum wages close to $10.
