The vast majority of Undegraduate Workers who filled out the 2022 Anonymous Wage Survey were being paid below $15/h. Some workers are paid as low as $7.25/h, which is an absolute pittance. Other workers, like Residential Advisors, are paid in housing and Diamond Dollars. We aim to establish a campus-wide $15/h minimum wage for all Undergraduate Workers.

As many of us were already aware, certain Undergraduate Workers are currently working far beyond the twenty hour cap implemented by Temple University. More often than not, because of the artificial cap, workers are unable to report these extra hours and therefore are not paid for them. We are fighting for a 1.5x rate for overtime work so that Temple either respects its own cap on worker hours or, if workers must go above and beyond to accomplish their jobs, that the university compensates overtime work fairly.
