National Catholic Reporter quotes Kaye on inequality, ‘Fight for Fifteen’

UW-Green Bay Prof. of Democracy and Justice Studies Harvey J. Kaye is quoted at length in a story headlined “Battle for Living Wage, Economic Equality,” published online at the independent National Catholic Reporter news site. While much publicity has attended moves by some cities to raise the local minimum wage, Kaye notes the movement faces an uphill fight elsewhere. “Will the Fight for 15 put the question of inequality forward all the more aggressively? I don’t know. I don’t see it happening,” Kaye said. He added, “Imagine if labor had embraced the Occupy Wall Street question [about inequality] in a significant fashion, and if the Democratic Party, instead of paying lip service, had really addressed it.”
