LA Council Delays the $30 Olympic Wage for Hotel and Airport Workers

The Los Angeles City Council voted 11-3 to slow the raises in its Olympic Wage ordinance, pushing hotel and airport workers' $30 minimum from the 2028 Games to 2030, as business groups withdrew a ballot measure to repeal the city business tax.

The council finalized the delay 11-3; Eunisses Hernandez, Ysabel Jurado and Hugo Soto-Martinez voted no^[1].
Business groups had qualified a November measure to repeal the city business tax, then withdrew it once the council agreed to the delay; hotel workers called it a "shakedown"^[1].
The amended schedule: $25.00 from 1 July 2026, $25.50 from 1 July 2027, $28.50 from 1 July 2028, $29.00 from 1 July 2029 and $30.00 from 1 January 2030^[3].
The amendment was approved on 26 May 2026 under Council File 25-1466^[2].
A 2025 industry referendum against the original ordinance failed on signatures, 56,767 of 140,774 being ruled insufficient^[4].
