Letters to the editor: a decent salary is not just an economic problem: it is a justice

To the editor: A decent salary is a problem of justice. This was proclaimed by Pope Leo XIII and has just been affirmed by Pope Leo XIV. Even so, the increase in life costs has not resulted in comparable compensation, with salaries that remain stagnant (“The Los Angeles Council supports the minimum wage of $ 30 for hotels, despite the warnings of the tourism industry,” May 14).

The opponent's argument on future projections is terrible. Losing the profits, which they obtain in the back of poorly paid workers, is not a winning argument. It is time to support the decent salary and allow airport workers and hotels to win what they deserve for their well -being and continuous support of the tourism industry.

Thanks to the members of the City Council who value and support tourist workers.

To the editor: While reading this article by David Zahniser and Suhauna Hussain, I looked for a mention of how much it costs to live in southern California. If we observe, for example, a single mother who needs a two -bedroom house, transport, food and other needs, such as clothes for her and children, how much do you need to survive in Los Angeles County? Pass something less than that means that the employer is throwing his responsibilities to the government security network.

Should we allow that employer to get his own abusing the system? Perhaps if that employer cannot find the money to pay a decent salary, you should reduce salaries at the top and advance in the management chain until the business is administered well.
