LA Labor Leaders Invite Pope Francis to Visit Their City | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: A higher minimum wage would be a good thing, either locally or nationally - although a higher child tax credit is also essential for families - what is $1,000 should be $6000 if matched locally and $12000 per child if not.  If Francis would help us get that, so much the better.  It is sad that we want it all to go to the breadwinner rather than because of family size.  Francis underlining this would be good too as there is a long history in living wage discourse that says larger families need more.  As for unions, now that the NLRB is fully staffed, it is time to exploit this fact and organize, organize, organize - not waiting for the next visit from the Pope (although such a visit would be a boon to low wage workers in hopsitality).  We really need a visit from SEIU.
