In 2000, the San Francisco Living Wage Coalition was successful in passing living wage laws in San Francisco to support low-wage workers – the San Francisco Minimum Compensation Ordinance and the subsequent Health Care Accountability Ordinance. The Coalition is now exploring how to extend these laws to cover more workers and to provide health coverage for workers’ spouses and children. Coalition members, including no- and low-income workers and their allies, are conducting an extensive research project to inform their legislative strategy. To inform the research process and strengthen members’ research skills, we provided a campaign research training in November that covered research strategy, obtaining public records, and presenting data effectively. We are giving a follow-up training in March on research techniques and to address specific questions Coalition members have on their particular research projects. We also collaborated with the Coalition on research to assess San Francisco’s implementation of negotiated workfare reforms.
