This is not a new concept, so there's history. Pretty much every living wage law in existence will have a clause about collective bargaining agreements.
Max, find one example of a city with a living wage standard where even ONE union has negotiated for themselves a wage lower than that stated for their type of work in the living wage law in effect, AFTER that law went into effect.
just one example, I'd honestly be interested to see it

Your fantasy minimum is the political, and meaningless sop, $12.50....

No sweetheart, my point was made by the the articles cited, the minimum union wage in DC is till $8.50, not a fantasy number of $12.50, you can argue your strawman with yourself, backslapping both......
