Los Angeles Passes US’s Highest Minimum Wage as Labor Prepares for 2028 Olympics - Lemmy.World

hotel staff and airport catering industry workers be paid at least $30 per hour and given comprehensive health benefits by July 1, 2028. The minimum wage will be raised to $22.50 this year and increase by $2.50

I’m very happy they got the wage increases but I hope that if Trump is still president then that people boycott the Olympics. Make the stadiums empty and don’t send any international teams to compete. Visitors risk arbitrary detainment and harassment despite innocence. We must not repeat the 1936 Olympics.
