Well, A&M is showing some heart and showing that they do care about their lowest-paid workers. They are raising the minimum wage from $6.57/hour to $7.77/hour. Hopefully this will help many families be able to afford the necessaties to live. It's not alot, but it is something which is more than they wanted to do originally. Baby steps.
Congratulations, Dr. Gates, for making the right decision and choosing to do something.
Congratulations to the Aggie Democrats and the many students who worked to make sure that the administration didn't just blow off these workers.
It's a good day to be an Aggie.
