The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to hike the minimum wage for more than 23,000 tourism workers, handing a huge victory to labor unions whose members have struggled to keep up with the rising cost of food, rent and other expenses.
Wow just in time for the fucking olympics hey cali? As a native I think the cost of living will be 10x higher. By then we’ll all be gone.
Great work Newscum.
Note that it’s not a one time increase to that, it’s an increase each year until it reaches $30/hr by 2028
Under the proposal, the minimum wage for hotel and airport workers would go up in increments of $2.50 per year, starting at $22.50 in July and moving to $25 in July 2026, $27.50 in July 2027 and $30 in July 2028.
Yes, people organized around the olympics as a reason to push for the higher minimum wage. That’s not something hidden that’s something in the article
The campaign for the so-called Olympic wage had been spearheaded by Unite Here Local 11, which represents hotel and restaurant workers, and United Service Workers West, a local of the Service Employees International Union whose members work at Los Angeles International Airport. Both organizations staged rallies, led marches and, this week, organized a three-day fast by tourism workers stationed outside City Hall.
Also note that this is a city council decision in LA, not from the Governor Newsom
i’m for $30 min wage, for all of LA, now
