Special Section - Transforming the Gateway to L.A.
The Economic Benefits of a Sustainable Tourism Model In this special section, LAANE examines the impact of two major achievements on Century Corridor: (1) the Living Wage Ordinance, which went into effect in July 2008; and (2) the successful negotiation of collective bargaining agreements at four of the 12 Century Corridor hotels. A coalition of community members, workers, and clergy leaders joined together to transform thousands of low wage hotel jobs into good, quality jobs. With the support of the Mayor and City Council, their efforts have resulted in a Living Wage Ordinance and four union contracts.
