快色视频 is listed on the Durham Living Wage Project鈥檚 website in the Certified Employers section. The College joins more than 125 other certified Durham employers.

鈥淭he commitment 快色视频 has to paying its staff a living wage is commendable,鈥 said Gabe Treves-Kagan of the Durham Living Wage Project Steering Committee. 鈥淚nvesting in their staff is the best way to ensure that all students continue to receive the support and high quality education they deserve.鈥

The Durham Living Wage Project鈥檚 mission is to support worker livelihoods by urging employers to pay living wages, certifying and publicly recognizing employers, and promoting living wages as a matter of conscience within the community. By promoting financial well-being through this market-driven certification program, the organization believes it can not only support workers but also strengthen employers and the community.
