One of the main priorities of our campaign is to fight for all Labour councils to include a Living Wage in all procurement contracts and to make a Living Wage without exemptions the policy of the Labour Party at annual Conference.
This coalition, as far as we know, is being run by Socialist Youth Network at the moment. However, a couple of Compass Youth speakers will be at the launch, as Compass Youth has been running a campaign to the same ends for around a year, as evidenced by reading down!
