LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council gave final approval on June 29 to an ordinance raising the minimum wage for people working at some privately owned health care facilities in the city to $25 per hour.
The “Minimum Wage for Employees Working at Healthcare Facilities” initiative, which was brought to the council through a successful petition drive, will now move to the mayor’s office for final consideration. The ordinance raises the workers’ minimum wage, adjusting it annually to account for increases in the cost of living.
