In particular, the purchasing power of these wages has been eroded by the rising cost of living in the Boston area.

Supplementing those figures will be analysis, fact-finding and recommendations which promise to reignite the living wage debate, no matter what the committee recommends.

According to Living Wage Notes, a PSLM newsletter door-dropped to undergraduates last week, the group is looking for students available to participate in an action on Dec. 19.

Elfenbein said she expects there will be “enough” students present in Cambridge to constitute an effective action.

According to Associate Dean of the College David P. Illingworth 71, the group has not yet applied for a rally permit.

According to Living Wage Notes, PSLM aims for a wage floor above $10.68 per hour, a permanent end to outsourcing, card-check neutrality in union organizing, expansion of full-time work and the creation of an inclusive board to oversee implementation of the recommendations.

“Anything below $10.68 per hour is absolutely unacceptable, but a meaningful living wage is beyond that,” Weisbard said.

PSLM members said they consider the living wage issue resolved, and that the role of the committee is merely to design a means for implementation.

“The committee is just a mechanism for translating what the community has already stated as its value into policy,” Weisbard said.

But committee members remain reticent about discussing any specifics.

“The committee’s report represents a very serious collective effort to come up with creative solutions to a number of troubling facts about wages at Harvard over the last decade,” Katz said.

“I think the committee as a whole is very proud of what we’ve done. We want the Harvard community to read our work—we’re pleased with it, overall,” said Matthew Milikowsky ’02, one of the committee’s two undergraduate representatives.
