CA: Anaheim Voters Consider $25 Minimum Wage on Hotel Workers

[RandySF]

Will hotel and event workers get a $25 minimum wage soon?

Anaheim voters are answering that question by mailing in ballots or casting votes in person up until 8 p.m. Tuesday for a special election against the backdrop of a public corruption scandal at City Hall.

It also comes as hotel workers have been conducting rolling strikes throughout Southern California – where workers picket for a few days, then go back to work as another hotel workforce walks out.

The election stems from a union-backed ballot initiative – Measure A – that would make the minimum wage for hotel and event center workers in Anaheim $25 an hour immediately with a 3% increase annually starting in 2026 – it also calls for increased workplace protections.

1. I just don't understand these narrowly tailed wage laws for a certain industry

Minimum wage should be raised for all workers, just not a small subset.

2. It was organized by the union representing the hotel workers.
