"The proposal, billed by labor leaders as the highest minimum wage in the country, would require hotels with more than 60 rooms, as well as companies doing business at Los Angeles International Airport, to pay their workers $30 per hour by 2028."
Angelenos are wildly against LA hosting the Olympics. The only way they are going to get people to work during what will be the biggest tourist boom this city has had in decades is by offering a slight wage increase. It should be now and much much more.
There's all this talk about how MEN feel like they have nothing to live for, have no future prospects and are feeling left behind/depressed. We know this cuz the job market/corporate industry are not doing enough to care for its American citizens. Corps bottom line has always been to do w/ bare min
Per @filmthepolicela.bsky.social the raise only applies to specific members of one hotel union that serves a few high end hotels and not all or even most tourism workers. It's a move @cd13.lacity.gov is doing to reward his donor but ignore the rest of his constituents and shouldn't be getting credit

This bribe is going to calm workers down long enough for our government and the Olympic Committee to destroy this city
