Eric Cruz · Item 20

Item number 20. Good morning, council members. My name is Eric Cruz and I have worked for Concord Collective at LAX as a cook for the past two years. I am also a father. My daughter will turn two later on this year. Right now, I'm still living with my parents because the cost of living in Los Angeles is so high. I work hard, I show up, and I help keep LAX running. But even with a full-time job, it is still hard to afford a place of my own and support my family. I am counting on the wage increase this summer to help me provide for my daughter. That increase is not extra money. It is money for rent, diapers, food, gas, and basic things the young family needs to survive. Taking this away, …

Unverified speaker · Item 20

Stuart Waldman. Public comment and item 20., Stuart Waldman. I'm president of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association, VICA. We're here in support of item 20. the proposal is a common sense solution. no one is saying to repeal the wage, just asking it to be spread out a little longer to help businesses be able to brace for that impact. Already with the passage of the of the original ordinance, thousands of jobs have been lost. a construction project in the valley that would have created thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs was cancelled and that may never come back. The fact is that we are not asking for something that's problematic. We're just asking for the …

Rosa · Item 20

Item 20 and general public comment. Thank you. My name is Rosa Enriquez. When poor workers receive a pay raise, their health improves dramatically. Studies have found that when minimum wages go up, rates of child neglect, underage alcohol consumption, and teen births go down. These are the words of Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize winner, in his book, Poverty by America. This motion is extortion. The industry is plainly saying that if you don't cut wages and health care, they will try to destroy the budget of the city of Los Angeles. Along with thoughts and prayers, the impoverished are told to have hope. That is an easy way to turn your back on your workers if you are not willing to be that …

Maria Cortez · Item 20

Item 20 and general., good morning, council members. My name is Maria Cortez with Hotel Irwin, a family-owned v Hotel Irwin in Venice Beach. I respectfully ask for your support in adopting this exclusion for hotel restaurant workers. Hotel restaurants in Los Angeles are already facing rising labor cost, inflation, slower consumer spending, and growing competition from nearby restaurants that are not subject to the same requirements. Many hotel restaurants operate on very thin margins simply to serve guests and support tourism. For family-owned hotels like ours, additional mandates can lead to difficult decision decisions such as reducing hours, cutting services, or closing restaurant …

San · Public comment

I'd like to comment on number. My name is San Fernando. I am from San Fernando and I'm against. So,, in my restaurant, we used,, coal to,, make,, roast chicken,, on the grill. And this would end up ruining my business, which my family and I have depended on for many years. And we have many workers who also depend on our restaurant. And so us our restaurant being ruined would also lead other families to be in ruin. And so that's why we're here to ask for your support so that we can continue in business. Thank you so much for your time. [applause]

Good morning. Lisa Baka, California State Horseman's Association. I'm here to speak to general public comic 95. I am here to represent the thousands of families and ranch workers who enjoy barbecuing our carnasada safely. We are not the issue. last January, there were over 2,000 horses during the fires that migrated from evacuation sites throughout LA. We know fire. We are not the target and should not be the target of limited fire resources. We believe that those resources would better be sent focused on Lake Hollywood, Griffith Park, Hansen Dam, and dealing with the unhoused encampment fires that happen weekly, weekly in Hansen Dam. I personally ride a public trail operation through …

Ronald Bermudez · Item 20

good morning. I would like to speak on item 20. Okay., good morning. My name is Ronald Bermudez and I'm a member of Unite here local 11. I have been a member for over 10 years around the downtown area and I'm here to say vote no on item 20. I believe that there's a shakeddown scheme a foot. Corporations are threatening the city with a loss tax revenue unless you cut the wages and healthc care for working people. So here's the deal. Today the council votes to put the gross receipt tax repeal on the ballot and directs the city attorney to draft the wage cut. Nine days later, the council approves the wage ordinance. Then, once they have what they want, corporations withdraw their own ballot …

Palomatos · Item 20

item number 20. Thank you. My name is Palomatos and I'm with the Sunita Jane Antraicking Initiative at Loyola Law School. I urge you to vote no on efforts to weaken wages or health care protections for hotels and airport workers ahead of the Olympic and World Cup. The city already voted last year to support the Olympic wage. Council should not should continue standing with workers instead of giving to pressure from corporations. The World Cup is just one month away and these events are expected to bring huge profits to hotels and tourism businesses. The workers helping make these events possible and deserve fair wages and healthcare. Hotel and airport workers are already dealing with high …

Tomasa Martinez · Item 20

Hi, good morning. 20 and general public comment. My name is Tomasa Martinez and I'm an ACE member. four years ago, we started working for Olympic wages.

Nella · Item 20

Item 20 and general public comment. My name is Nella McCoscer. I represent Central City Association of Los Angeles or CCA. We are a downtown focused organization, but represent businesses and institutions across the city. Let me say first that I have fundamentally disagreed with the process that has led us to today. Wages and benefits ought to be negotiated at the bargaining table. That is a timehonored tradition to balance the power of labor and business whose interests are inexraably entwined in ensuring that we have good, strong wages and businesses that are open. If we have to go through that process, which much of this council did, legislated wages for an industry outside of the …

Jordan · Public comment

20. So, my name is Jordan Long. I work for Delta at LAX. I'm a bartender and I'm also a constituent of Council President Maris Harris Dawson. I live in Bowwin Hills in the house that my grandparents helped raise me in. So, this is important to me. I'm particularly disgusted that he's introducing a motion that would lower wages for airport and tourism workers like me because I would expect my council member to stand up for working Angelenos, not help giant companies take money out of our pockets. It's absolutely astonishing and disgusting to see my company spend millions to stop hardworking Angelinos and our families from earning a better living wage. Delta is an official partner of LA28 …

We ask the council members to stay firm. And when you voted in favor for us, this changed our lives a lot. Now I am not too worried about having to pay my rent or paying for food or having to choose between the two. and being able to enjoy more time with my family and not having to stay past my eight hours working overtime just to pay my rent. Instead of worrying about surviving because of the high …

And today,, I stand before you with all of my sisters and brothers behind me because we urge you to say no, to vote no on this motion to put the wages and health care for tourist workers. It's an outrage that this body is considering taking away wages and health care increases for workers who will be working during the Olympics and the World Cup. These are the people that the tourists will see first. It's been a full year. Council voted a huge majority to pass the Olympic wage. city …

Tasnim Chowy · General public comment

Just a general public comment. Good morning, council members. My name is Tasnim Chowy and I am a campaign specialist with the Los Angeles Black Workers Center. I'm here today because workforce equity recommendations were unanimously advanced by the Charter Reform Commission and I have not been able to go to meet and confer process. These recommendations are about modernizing hiring, creating real career pathways into stable city jobs, and ensuring accountability for black workers and communities that have historically been locked out of public sector employment. For years, black workers in LA have remained understaffed. Hiring process remained outdated, and access to good union jobs stay …

Utterly disgusting that you are guys allowing the city to go and push back our wages. We worked hard for that for three years. We worked hard. I was able to get treatment, see specialists that I usually cannot afford. I was able to do that with that raise. I was able to take my son out to Disneyland with that race that never he has ever been before and he's 16 years old. These things that I I I've I've always wanted to do for my kids.

Unverified speaker · Item 19

Hi. Item 19 and public comment. Okay. Good morning, council members. On behalf of the Sunita Jane anti-trafficking initiative, I am writing to emphasize the need to include anti-trafficking and anti-exloitation prevention in planning and funding for the 2020 Olympic and Parolympic Games. Large-scale events can increase risk of labor exploitation, wage theft, unsafe working conditions, and trafficking, especially for immigrant communities, low-wage workers, youth, and those faking economic insecurity. These risks should be treated as core public safety, public health, and labor protection concerns. City agreements with LA28 should include dedicated funding for prevention and response, …

California has the fourth largest economy in the world. And we've I've been coming here many times asking you to not privatize public education to provide fair housing and wages.

Nick · Item 20

Thank you so much. Hello, council members. My name is Nick Stewart. I'm a senior researcher at Lane. A full year after council voted to pass the Olympic wage, the motion before you cuts wages and healthcare for workers about to host the world's largest events. We urge you to vote no. The shameless push by the touris tourism industry to repeal the business tax in exchange for cutting wages is being justified by the same tired argument that the tourism indust industry is in crisis and can only be resolved off the backs of workers. But this is not the first time the tourism industry has used scare tactics to stall stronger working standards. When LA City Council passed higher healthcare …

Joelyn Mard · Item 20

item 20 and public comment. Okay. Good morning. My name is Joelyn Mard and I am a member of Unite Here Local 11. I have worked as a cook feeding Los Angeles and its tourists for over 15 years. The Olympic wage represents a promise that the workers powering Los Angeles tourism will share in the city's Olympic success. This motion breaks that promise. We heard that members of the council themselves call these tactics blackmail. If you know it's blackmail, the right answer is not to surrender. The proposed changes would cut wages by 20%, delay health care protections for a year and carve out exemptions to strip coverage from hotel restaurant workers entirely. These are not adjustments. They …

This motion would delay health care protections for hotel workers for an entire year. Working families who have been waiting for these protections to kick in finally counting on them this year and now being told to wait again. The industry fought hard to strip this healthcare requirement and now they want your help to delay it one more time. workers have already defeated a multi-million …

You can stand with a billion-dollar corporations demanding concessions, or you can stand with the workers like me who clean rooms, cook meals, greet visitors, and keep LA tourism alive. We have waited years for wages and protections that were …

Vote no on item 20. This proposal would cut wages for hotel workers by more than 20% and delay healthc care protections for a full year. This law was already a compromise. Workers waited years for a law to pass, then waited again while corporations delay a $25 rate until this July. Enough waiting. These are not just members. The well these are just not numbers. They are rent payment workers need to make. Healthcare protection workers were promised and because of that families were stretched even …

number 20 and public comment. I'm not going to repeat every word that everybody has been saying. is just that you guys need to be fair. You have to remember where you're coming from. Every one of you were not born rich. You were poor like us. You work hard like us. You broke your backs and working like us. Now you have a seat. You're making a lot of money and you are forgetting your roots. That is rude. And Mr. Dawson, for you to back on your word, that is a shame for John Lee to start also these revocation of the raising the wages. It's a it's a shame. He's a sold out and most of you are sold outs too. So, you have to abide by the rules of the government. And you guys gave your word that …

Unverified speaker · Item 18

So item seven is related to the mayor's emergency declaration related to the devastating wildfires in the Palisades other parts of the city. So this recovery effort has been very focused on rebuilding for the Olympics and for all the big sporting events and not for rebuilding communities and the homes at a speedy and efficient rate. And the council member for the 11th district,, the one beloved council member of the Pacific Palisades, literally has made no effort to lobby the federal government to actually Trump to stop his nonsense, send in the aid for the fire, wildfires and such. She's too busy thanking him at events and such. That's that's what Park does. And she said very little about …

Having to move around and getting up early to try and achieve this goal. a goal that was already achieved and there are many other workers that had to do the same thing as I did. I feel vicarious shame for you. Why are we backpedaling on something that you guys already voted for? You know what? We won by fighting in the streets without any money like these other big corporate corporations that do have it to do this work. We did our job. What do you …

Councilmember Monica Rodriguez · Item 20

Thank you. Colleagues, I rise today with the concerns that we heard from several of the speakers that joined us in council today regarding recommendation number four of this report. And let me be clear, wildfire prevention and public safety matter deeply to everybody in the city of Los Angeles, especially as we continue to face growing climate and fire risks. However, we need to be thoughtful about the types of policies that we're advancing here. And having conversations that single out barbecuing in a residential area on a red flag day misses the mark and frankly is tonedeaf when we know that so many of the fires that are actually impacting neighborhoods have often been derived from other …

Councilmember Monica Rodriguez · Council action

members of the public. So, if if we cannot continue business because of disruptions, then we may have to vacate the room. So, I'm going to ask for everybody to please be polite. Uh, Council Member Rodriguez does have the floor. Again, everybody was listening to the public comment on both sides, but please do not disrupt this meeting or we're going to have to start warning and removing people, which we do not want to do. I'm sorry, council member. Well, again, I guess some people are okay with the best paid unemployed workforce. I'm not. And so, what we have seen is we have seen several hotels go up for sale on a fire sale. We've seen the transition of ownership. We've seen several …

Uh, Council Member Rodriguez, the restaurant industry is an industry that I have had to assist through the course of COVID, through the aftermath of just all of the economic implications. They are struggling. We have watched legacy businesses continue to close, but we also know that they run on razor thin margins. And so when you have a restaurant …

Point of order.

And so if we're doing that for a former issue in the same council and we're striking something because it's not part of the current negotiations at hand, then we shouldn't even, you know, I'm going to vote no on this and it's not part of the package that we're negotiating right now.
