The vast majority of non-tipped workers at Ocean Downs made less than $40,000 last year, less than 60% of the income the Economic Policy Institute’s Living Wage calculator says is necessary for a single wage earner to support themselves and one child in Wicomico County.

Support Ocean Downs workers who are standing for a fair contract!
