“Because of the worker shortages, I often get called into the 5:30 a.m. shift before classes. No one else will do it.” • “With the current campus wage, I have to work 10 weeks over the summer just so I can pay for all my expenses at school.” • “The University must really start considering the mental health toll the existing wage has on low-income students. It’s so difficult to balance school and the stress of getting enough money for the month.”
These are quotes from campus workers who share what it is like living under the current wage structure at Notre Dame
