Living Wage
* Re “Health Care Workers Get Raise, Call It Too Small,” Sept. 13: The effort of health care workers to establish a livable wage must extend beyond the realms of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors and their own craft industry.
A living wage of $8.50 an hour set by the federal government could end the feudal bickering with local government and bureaucrats who seek to harness the widespread dissent among workers being paid poverty wages. A decent wage is the right of every worker and not just government workers.
