Friend,

Los Angeles’ hospitality workers won a huge victory when the City Council passed the Olympic Wage Ordinance, which will raise the minimum wage for tourism-related workers to $30 an hour by the time we host the Olympics.

Now billion-dollar corporations are trying to trick voters into overturning this hard-fought living wage.

A coalition of companies, including Delta, United Airlines, and Marriott, is funding a campaign to collect 93,000 voter signatures on a misleading petition in order to call a special election and overturn the Olympic Wage Ordinance.

These companies would rather spend millions of dollars to overturn the will of the people than pay their employees a living wage. That’s why we need to get the word out RIGHT NOW to stop anyone from signing this petition!

We’ve joined with Unite Here Local 11, the union that spearheaded the $30 Olympics wage effort, to spread the word about the underhanded attempt to reverse the L.A. Council’s decision, and you can play an important part. Click the image below to share this post to all of your social media accounts.

Thank you for being in the fight!
