Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

Harvard is home to one of most successful and longest running campus living wage campaigns. The Progressive Student Labor Movement's efforts established a "parity wage" university policy and a worker's center, and strengthened union presence on their campus. In addition, their campaign convinced many other student groups around the nation that campus living wage campaigns could succeed in changing in universities employment practices.
