Under pressure from hotel unions, about 5,000 hotels add security measures to protect workers from sexual harassment. Unions say it is not enough.to provide panic buttons for employees who work alone in isolated locations and might be vulnerable to sexual assaults and threats. Terranea was targeted by the union because Sandra Pezqueda, a former worker, said she was fired in 2016 after complaining about the sexual advances of her supervisor.
Terranea had said throughout the campaign that it already provided such technology for employees to automatically call for aid. The measure also would have guaranteed workers a $15-an-hour minimum wage, with regular raises until 2022, among other benefits.An economic analysis, commissioned by the city, said the initiative would have cost Terranea as much as $8 million a year by 2022. The analysis by the economic consulting firm Kosmont Co. said it was unable to collect financial information from Trump National Golf Club.
Campaign finance statements filed since Jan. 1 show that Long Point Development, the owner of the 102-acre shoreline hotel, contributed at least $1 million to a committee opposed to Measure B. The union, Unite Here Local 11, had contributed $145,000 in support of the measure.
Pretty sure these resorts already have panic buttons. This was a bad measure that only helped the unions.
Panic buttons?
California voters are the best
Should have separated the panic button issue from the salary raise issue if the concern was safety.
Idiots.
Why does anyone still work there ? The economy is do great, just go get another low-paying, demeaning, subjugating job....s/
Provide them with suicide buttons. RIP Chester Bennington.
Shameful a**holes up on the hill.
That is terrible for the working people.
