County supervisors’ hopes to hike minimum wages for hotel and theme park workers in unincorporated areas are on hold.
A proposal from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to raise the minimum wage to $25 an hour for hotel workers and theme park employees at businesses within unincorporated areas of the county was withdrawn on Thursday, Sept. 7.
Hahn’s office confirmed on Thursday that the item she announced on Aug. 8 for discussion and for a possible ordinance before the five-member board on Sept. 12, was not going to be heard and there would be no vote. and was seconded by Third District Supervisor Lindsey Horvath. The proposal mirrored similar ordinances being considered by the cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
BizFed had said the measure would negatively affect small businesses, including vendors who have shops at Universal Studios CityWalk, a row of retail leading to the entrance of the theme park. About 70% of Universal Studios Hollywood and the theme park in the San Fernando Valley are within an unincorporated county island and therefore would have been affected by the proposed ordinance.
