There is no excuse for any employer to pay any full time worker less than the realistic cost of living within reasonable proximity of their place of employment.
What I note right away is that this has an appropriate focus on public policy that relates to all citizens (and non-citizens that should be under the care of the government, and not systematically exploited), and not merely members of a specific union. One of the many problems I have with "collective bargaining" is the limited concept of who is included in the collective, and the regulatory capture that is often the norm between union executives and employer executives.
I know this was left for a different article, but the UBI (ULI) needs to become the floor with minimum wage and maximum wage disparity being on top of that.
