Good. This is the sort of thing tax money is supposed to be for: ensuring that workers who render services to the public on behalf of the government collect a living wage for their efforts. (Things it isn't supposed to be for include paying lawyers to appeal perfectly reasonable court rulings, providing tax refunds to people who don't really need them, and paying down a deficit that no one really cares much about.)

I just wish the government would do more to help ensure corporations provide livable wages or at the very least help wages keep up with inflation.

One of the most effective ways a government can do that is by paying the public sector better. If private companies were always in fear of losing people to high paying public sector jobs, they would pay better.
