- Abstract
This article focuses on the living wage campaign in Hamilton, Canada to examine the potential and limitations of living wage campaigns to build enduring social movements which unite organized labor with community partners. It used the tripartite framework derived from the social movement literature of political opportunities, mobilizing structures, and framing processes. The article analyzes this particular campaign to determine if a genuine social movement emerged.
