Don’t expect pictures; this one is radio!
Santa Monica has long led the region in establishing living wages for City employees and contractors. Now that the City of Los Angeles has made a regional minimum wage a real possibility, we have decided to accelerate existing policy work and engage the local business community so we can pass a
citywide minimum wage by the end of this summer.
Update: Along with our new minimum wage, we’ve committed to preserving worker collective bargaining rights (“union supercession”), as has always been our policy in Santa Monica.
