The Los Angeles Office of the City Clerk announced that a referendum petition has been filed challenging Ordinance No. 188610 which raised the minimum wage for Los Angeles hotel and airport workers.

The Details:

Ordinance No. 188610, signed into law on June 27, 2025, stipulated that Los Angeles city hotel workers at properties with 60 or more rooms and airport workers must be paid a minimum wage of at least $22.50 per hour beginning July 1, 2025.

However, until the challenge to Ordinance No. 188610 is resolved, the minimum wage will not increase. As a result, the minimum wage for hotel workers working at a hotel with 60 or more rooms   is $21.01 and airport workers currently must be paid at least $19.28 per hour. In addition, the payment amount for health benefits provided to an employee working for an employer servicing the airport (LAX) must be at least $6.09 per hour.

Next Steps:

Continue to pay at least the current minimum wage and monitor the challenge for any updates to the minimum wage requirements.
