In the wake of a tentative labor agreement, a union-led effort to add a measure to the ballot in 2024 that would have raised the minimum wage of hotel workers in Beverly Hills has fallen flat.
Unite Here Local 11, the union representing thousands of housekeepers, restaurant workers and front desk staff in Southern California and Arizona, filed a petition to raise the minimum wage of hotel workers in Beverly Hills to $30 per hour on July 25. They had 180 days from then to gather signatures from at least 10% of the city’s registered voters, roughly 2,200 residents.
