The Los Angeles City Council tentatively approved an ordinance today that would raise the minimum wage for people working at covered health-care facilities in the city to $25 per hour.

Since the vote was not unanimous, the issue will have to return to the council next week for a second vote.

Several workers spoke to the council before the vote, with one saying he has to work outside jobs -- such as painting houses or doing construction -- to make ends meet outside of his job. Another told the council people working in health care facilities should be able to focus on their patients without worrying about having enough money to feed their families.

The workers, who protested citing"unfair labor practices as well as staff shortages," gathered for a five day demonstration.
