Long Beach looking at increasing wages for airport, convention center concession workers
The increases could resemble voter-approved Measure RW, which raised hotel workers’ wages to $23 per hour this month and will increase them to $29.50 per hour by 2028.
Long Beach Airport and Convention Center concession workers could be in line for raises soon after the City Council requested a modernization of the pay scale for those employees that could see their wages align with a recently adopted hotel wage increase.
Councilmembers Suely Saro, Mary Zendejas and Joni Ricks-Oddie drafted the request for city management to look at options of raising those workers’ wages through a city ordinance. The skeleton of those increases could resemble the voter-approved Measure RW, which raised hotel workers’ wages to $23 per hour this month and will increase them to $29.50 per hour by 2028.
