Vanderbilt workers, many of them members of Laborers' Local Union 386, have been struggling since last year to achieve a living wage, which in Nashville is $10.18 per hour. Currently, Vanderbilt's lowest paid workers earn about $7.55 an hour, well below the poverty level. Yet Vanderbilt -- whose chancellor is paid $1.2 million a year -- continues to refuse to grant a living wage for employees.
