"continues to work with partners around negotiations,"
"It is a shameful day in Los Angeles when our own elected leaders decide to put forth a motion to strip hard-earned wages from some of the city's lowest-paid workers,"
"These workers fought for more than two years to improve their working conditions, only to have the very people who should defend them try to take it all away."
"Hotels are essential to the vitality of Los Angeles, supporting tens of thousands of jobs and generating critical tax revenue that funds"
A motion from the Los Angeles City Council president would extend the phase-in period for a proposed $30-per-hour minimum wage for hotel and airport workers, postponing the full wage until 2030. A prior business-backed effort to repeal the wage increase failed to qualify for the ballot after insufficient signatures in September. A council spokesperson said the president continues to work with partners around negotiations and declined further details. Hospitality and service unions condemned the proposal as stripping wages from low-paid workers, while the American Hotel and Lodging Association said the delay would provide needed relief for an industry recovering from pandemic losses.
