The Anaheim City Council recently voted 7-0 to request an economic impact study and put off making a decision about an initiative—which would raise wages and reform work conditions for hotel workers—until their meeting on June 13.
If adopted, the proposed ordinance would raise the minimum wage for hotel workers to $25 an hour—versus the current $17 or $18 an hour. It would also prohibit mandatory overtime and require overtime wages for those who exceed workload limits.
