It was an honor to present the results of my research on the #LivingWage for #tourismWorkersRising yesterday at LA City Hall.

Tourism workers power our region's economy, but far too often their wages do not adequately reflect their value and worth.

Thank you @tourismworkersrising for meeting with us and sharing your stories.

'We do not need more studies to show us that we are struggling to survive. We've raised the wage before, Let's get it done.'- Armando, SEIU USWW LAX worker urging Council to move forward the #TourismWorkersRising policy as soon as possible 💯

Whose airport? Our airport!
SEIU USWW members make LAX run and with all of the investments coming into the city, workers want our fair share! #TourismWorkersRising #RaiseTheWage

'We can't survive without our tourism workers.'

“Hotels are making more than they ever had and they’re doing it with less labor
So their profits are out of sight
So what we’re saying today is you have that right but you need to share those profits” Kurt Petersen UNITE HERE Local 11 #TourismWorkersRising #RaisetheWage

We spoke with City Council members and giving public comment about the urgency of passing the Tourism Workers Living Wage Ordinance, so that all hotel and airport workers can afford to live in their city! #SoCalHotelStrike #TourismWorkersRising
