L.A. City Council votes minimum wage hike to $15.37 for biggest hotels

The Los Angeles City Council voted 12-3 today to require the city's biggest hotels to boost pay for their workers to at least $15.37 an hour – one of the highest minimum wage requirements in the U.S.

Mayor Eric Garcetti has said he would sign the plan, which would hand a major victory to organized labor and a defeat to hotel and business leaders who contend it would cut profits and trigger layoffs.

Because the vote was not unanimous, the ordinance will require a second vote next week.
