LOS ANGELES COUNTY WANTS TO FORCE UNSUSTAINABLE COSTS ON SMALL BUSINESS

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is considering an aggressive and unsustainable wage ordinance. It would increase operating costs to small businesses in the tourism industry by 50% overnight - and 80% by 2028.* Rather than uplifting Angelenos, this proposal threatens jobs. 

Think you're not affected? Think again. The tourism sector drives LA's economy. Theme parks and hotels help sustain numerous small businesses. If approved, this ordinance would lead directly to:

  • Significant layoffs of hospitality workers (hotel, restaurants, and mom and pop shops)

  • Higher prices for everyday consumers

  • Gutting revenue for vital services like health care and tackling homelessness

Speak up NOW and urge county leaders to oppose this ordinance. We seek data-supported, sustainable solutions that work for all Angelenos –– not wage hikes with aggressively accelerated timelines that threaten jobs while uplifting only select workers.

*The motion proposes to raise the minimum wage for hotel and theme park workers (including the Universal CityWalk vendors and independent small businesses associated with them) to $25/hr overnight, then $30/hr by 2028.
