Living wage chicken

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Living Wage Chicken is the mascot of the Living Wage Movement at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The "chicken" (a person in a chicken costume) appears at various United Campus Workers and Progressive Student Alliance rallies, hoping to garner support for higher wages for UT employees.

The "chicken" first appeared at UT-K labor rallies in 2002. Widely known as "Loretta," the chicken is a potent and well-known symbol of the ongoing campaign for economic justice on the UT-K campus.
