Montreal Rally Calls On Province To Increase Minimum Wage To $15 An Hour

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Oct, 2016 12:55 PM
    MONTREAL — Hundreds of Quebecers marched in Montreal today to press for a $15 an hour minimum wage.
     
    Many of them said the current provincial minimum wage of $10.75 an hour isn't enough for a person to live on.
     
    Organizers say support for the cause is growing, especially since Alberta and several U.S jurisdictions have already approved the change.
     
    Today's event was the culmination of a summer-long campaign led by unions, anti-poverty activists and students.
     
    Similar rallies have been held in B.C and Ontario.
