Healthcare workers in Los Angeles just got a raise.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti signed an ordinance Friday, July 8 that sets a $25-an-hour minimum wage for healthcare workers in the city. The law covers all private sector healthcare employees who work in hospitals, integrated health systems and dialysis clinics.
The measure was approved last month by the Los Angeles City Council in a 10-0 vote after SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West collected the required amount of signatures to put the wage hike on the November ballot.
Since the measure was initiated by a petition drive, the council could either adopt the initiative or put it before voters. The council opted to enact the measure.
An SEIU representative said the wage hike will apply to healthcare employees at more than 100 facilities throughout the city.

Janitors, too.
So what is this really about..?
I can’t add this morning.
Janitors make less.
This is about bumping, way up, the salaries for unskilled labor, isn’t it.
Which will mean health systems will have less for the skilled variety.
Lovely.
Bet it means more dues for the union, too...
And California recently approved health care rights for illegals. How much spending CAN they mandate?
