LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tourism workers spoke to the County Board of Supervisors yesterday in support of a motion authored by Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Hilda Solis to authorize County Counsel to draft a hotel worker protection ordinance that would protect housekeepers against sexual assault at hotels located in Marina Del Rey and other unincorporated areas of LA County. The law will mirror legislation passed in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Irvine, Glendale and Santa Monica.
“The higher minimum wage that Supervisor Hahn introduced and the hotel worker protection ordinance that Supervisors Horvath and Solis introduced are two concrete things that will change working people’s lives. LA is a world-class county and it should and can offer world-class wages and work protections for all.”
