  • St. Thomas University Establishes Living-Wage Policy for Employees
    St. Thomas University establishes living-wage policy for employees MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – After 13 years on the housekeeping staff at St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens, Livia Herrera saw her wages rise by almost $3 an hour in July. So did more than a dozen of her co-workers, whose hourly pay increased to a minimum of $10.27 per hour. The July 1 increase is due to a living-wage policy adopted by the university. The hourly rate is in addition to health benefits, which the university will continue to cover at 80 percent. “The difference is big,” said Herrera’s supervisor, Eduardo Torres, who also will benefit from the new policy. “It’s going to help us a lot, thank God,” said co-worker Norma Darias. According to Anthony Vinciguerra, director of the university’s Center for Justice and Peace, St. Thomas, sponsored by the Archdiocese of Miami, is one of only two Catholic universities in the nation to implement a living-wage policy. Jesuit-run Georgetown University in Washington is the other. The new policy directly affects about 20 housekeeping and grounds maintenance employees. But Monsignor Franklyn Casale, president of St. Thomas, said the school will keep the living wage in mind when it negotiates with subcontractors. “It is our hope that this pay increase will not only benefit our employees but also create a precedent throughout the region,” Monsignor Casale said. “I believe that the greatest resource of any institution is its human resource, in other words, its people. Treating people fairly and justly is part of our Catholic tradition.
