After months of often tense contract negotiations and a rally where Catholic Charities of San Francisco’s workers called public attention to the contrast between their poverty wages and the average 36% raise top executives gave themselves — including a 28% raise for CEO Ellen Hammerle, whose compensation topped $336,000 in 2023 — management signed off on an agreement establishing a $25/hour minimum wage for employees, along with other improvements.

Please email the Catholic Charities Board of Directors & CEO and urge them to honor the agreement they signed.
Send an email to Catholic Charities SF CEO Ellen Hammerle; Board Chair, Most Reverend Salvatore Cordileon; Board President, Kathleen Grogan; Board Secretary, Susie O’Brien Frimel; and Board Treasurer, Christine Whelan. Tell them to abide by their word — and labor law — and honor the agreement Catholic Charities management signed with their workers.
