To recognize and celebrate the 15^th Anniversary of the Mid-Ohio Workers Association and their service to the City of Columbus.

Body

WHEREAS, the Mid-Ohio Workers Association was established in 2001 as a free and voluntary unincorporated membership association to give workers a voice in the fight for fair wages and treatment; and

WHEREAS, many new jobs in Central Ohio are in service work that may pay below a living wage that does not allow workers to afford rent, food, and other basic necessities; and

WHEREAS, the Mid-Ohio Workers Association has won many victories for poor and working class communities, by pursuing policies that disallow ways that advance a few at the expense of the working poor; and

WHEREAS, the Mid-Ohio Workers Associations helps workers meet day-to-day needs, so that members can join in the fight for a living wage; and

WHEREAS, the Mid-Ohio Workers Association helps meet day-to-day needs so that hard working members of the community can survive while learning the skills and build towards a brighter future by fighting for policies that benefit the City of Columbus as a whole; now, therefore

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:

That this Council does hereby recognize and celebrate the Mid-Ohio Workers Association on their 15^th Anniversary and their continued service to the City of Columbus.
