Campaign to raise minimum wage focuses on health
 AOHC partnered with Health Providers Against Poverty for a media conference at Queens Park on January 14th calling on the Ontario government to prescribe better health by increasing the minimum wage.

Add YOUR voice: Full time minimum wage work gives you earnings that are 19% below the poverty line.

If you believe that minimum wage work should lift the workers OUT of poverty support the campaign by telling Premier Wynne. Call 416-325-1941.

You could say "Health service providers say that poverty is the biggest barrier to good health. It's time for the Ontario gov't to raise the minimum wage so that minimum wage workers earn enough to lift them out of poverty"
