An ordinance backed by multiple unions in the county representing thousands of workers would effectively boost San Diego's current minimum wage by 50 percent in just one year.

Labor unions representing thousands of hotel, janitorial and convention workers are calling on the San Diego City Council to boost the pay of lower paid service employees to $25 an hour — a 50 percent increase over the current citywide minimum wage.

Similar measures have, predictably, received pushback from the hotel industry, and it's likely that San Diego will be no different. Hotelier Robert Gleason, who chairs the San Diego County Lodging Association, says it's unfair to single out a particular industry for higher hourly wages, especially at a time when the tourism industry hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic.
