...hour, the group used the moral argument that workers were being forced to live in poverty. For the sake of justice, they argued, wages had to be raised. Those same arguments were later used to justify the union’s $14 per hour demand. There is a limit to the wages that PSLM can justify on moral grounds, and that limit has passed—Harvard initially offered a starting wage of $10.85 an hour, which surpassed PSLM’s living wage standard.
