LA County Tourism Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance
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 people, this proposal threatens jobs.
Think you're not affected? Think again. The tourism sector drives LA's regional economy. Theme parks, like Magic Mountain, 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 –– 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 Magic Mountain vendors and independent small businesses associated with them) to $25/hr overnight, then $30/hr by 2028.
