SUMMARY:Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: The Care Economy
DESCRIPTION:RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tompkins-county-minimum-wage-convening-the-care-economy-tickets-1987008730602?aff=oddtdtcreator \nJoin us for a series of discussions exploring the possibility of establishing a countywide minimum wage in Tompkins County. \nCare work matters to us all\, as do the wages of care workers. Child care\, elder care\, healthcare\, and care for people with disabilities in homes and institutions are major employers of low-wage workers. Moreover\, many of the families they serve have members who are low earners. What would be the impact of a living wage on these organizations\, their workers\, and the people they serve? How would it affect the availability of childcare? This session will include representatives of not-for-profit organizations\, human services agencies\, and childcare providers\, as well as people who work in those organizations\, both in administration and front-line service provision. It will also include a presentation by Dr Anne Marie Brady and Dr Zoe West\, senior researchers at Cornell University’s ILR School. \nThis convening is part of a broader effort to bring together workers\, employers\, community organizations\, researchers\, and policymakers to better understand the economic realities facing residents of Tompkins County. We welcome anyone interested in labor\, economic policy\, community wellbeing\, and fair wages to participate. \nCome learn\, share perspectives\, and help shape the conversation. \nIf you have any feedback\, questions\, or suggestions regarding the Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: Care Economy\, we encourage you to complete the survey below: \nhttps://cornell.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8eMaI9WM2qdl28S

SUMMARY:Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: Public Benefits
DESCRIPTION:RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tompkins-county-minimum-wage-convening-public-benefits-tickets-1987008981352?aff=oddtdtcreator \nJoin us for the fifth convening in a series of discussions exploring the possibility of establishing a countywide minimum wage in Tompkins County. \nMany workers affected by minimum wage increases receive public benefits to help them gain access to healthcare\, childcare\, and other services. Many of these workers could be lifted out of poverty if they received a sufficient boost to their wages. On the other hand\, because many benefits are targeted at low-income households\, workers and their families could lose access to these benefits and services. What would the impact of a county-wide minimum wage be on the lives of social services clients with jobs and their families? Would the loss of benefits mean overall loss of resources\, or could wage increases make up for the value of lost benefits? This session will include representatives of the Department of Social Services\, other service providers with DSS clients\, and community-based organizations. \nThis convening is part of a broader effort to bring together workers\, employers\, community organizations\, researchers\, and policymakers to better understand the economic realities facing residents of Tompkins County. We welcome anyone interested in labor\, economic policy\, community wellbeing\, and fair wages to participate.
