Boston Globe 11/16/15: Why one company voluntarily boosted its minimum wage to $15 an hour.

But as chief executive officer of privately owned Curriculum Associates, a publishing company that produces data management and assessment tools for schools, he says it was an easy decision to boost warehouse and clerical workers up to $15, pegged as a living wage by many in the national minimum-pay debate.
