From Times Wire Reports
Sacramento labor and community activists celebrated the City Council’s approval of the concept of a living-wage ordinance for workers on city-sponsored projects, breaking a two-year deadlock.

Activists said the fight for a living wage can be compared to other workers’ rights laws, such as the historic provisions that restricted the use of child labor, enforced job safety and provided benefits.
