Scores of National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) supporters held a car caravan around City Hall and Old Town Pasadena Thursday afternoon to show support for minimum wage workers.
The members want the City Council to know they need to keep the promise of the minimum wage ordinance by raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour on July 1, 2020.
The protesters met in All Saints Church’s parking lot and proceeded to drive around town to in support of essential workers who risk going to work every day in food services, health care services, cleaning services or as gardeners or day laborers during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mayor Tornek has vowed to keep the promise.
