HOTEL CRISIS IN LOS ANGELES ?

By Bob Walsh

 


There are three HUGE events coming up in LA in the next three years.  World Cup soccer.  Super Bowl.  Olympics.  

There are massive state mandated pay increases on schedule for hotel workers in CA.  $30 per hour minimum, plus restrictions on involuntary overtime.  Plus additional restrictions on work load.  (i.e. housekeeping can only be required to cover so many rooms in so many hours.)

One major hotel owner was on the radio on KFBK radio yesterday saying that all eight of his LA hotels were for sale.  No takers.  (I heard this on the car radio while I was driving so I don't have a name.)

Maybe I have a little schadenfreude thing going on here but I would not mind having LA come out of this looking like it is the biggest shit hole on the planet and is being run into the ground by the biggest bunch of morons imaginable.  Yup.  Schadenfreude.
