Living Wage

City of Los Angeles and business leaders reached a compromise today that preserves a so-called "living wage" for Century Corridor hotel workers while also providing some tax breaks for hotel operators. Larry and his guests (Peter Dreier, Director of the Urban and Environmental Policy Program at Occidental College; Ted Balaker of the Reason Foundation; KPCC Reporter Rachael Myrow; and Vivian Rothstein of the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy and co-founder of the LA Coalition to Support Hotel Workers) discuss the possibility of re-drawing the law in a way that makes it acceptable to both workers and businesses.
