We need politicians to take bold economic positions that will make a real difference in the lives of working people. Because the people who work in our province must be able to afford to live here.<\/p>\n<p>This is a huge step forward for our campaign and most importantly for low-wage workers in BC. Your support has built the momentum necessary to ensure that raising the minimum wage will be an important issue in next year\u2019s provincial election.<\/p>\n<p>Together we can build an economy that works for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Excited for the progress we have made together,<\/p>\n<p>The Fight for $15 Team<br \/>\nFight for $15 BC<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fightfor15bc.ca\/?e=8162275ee86cdd710810ddc574be6ccd&amp;utm_source=wevotebc&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=ndpforward&amp;n=1\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/www.fightfor15bc.ca\/?e%3D8162275ee86cdd710810ddc574be6ccd%26utm_source%3Dwevotebc%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Dndpforward%26n%3D1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1467152258334000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEuQK_-oTLfSiJ-zcBcIKafhEbh6Q\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">http:\/\/www.fightfor15bc.ca\/<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BC Federation of Labour \u00b7 Canada<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are one step closer We have some exciting news.
