The Hilton Los Angeles Universal City Hotel, in preparation for the 2028 Olympics, has a potential expansion plan jeopardized by a proposed minimum wage increase. The Los Angeles City Council is considering requiring hotels to pay workers at least $30 hourly along with a healthcare payment, which could lead to Sun Hill Properties pulling out of their Olympics room block agreement. The proposed wage hike has raised concerns among hotel investors, despite its support from unions advocating for tourism workers' welfare during the Olympic influx.
"Our board was very adamant that if [council members] go forward with this nonsense, that it's dead. They're going to move the project somewhere else."
"It will be the highest minimum wage in the country, and tourism workers need to benefit financially from the Olympics just like corporations do."
