Many cities have passed laws ensuring worker standards not only for government workers but in targeted industry sectors. These laws raise the floor for nonunion workers and create opportunities for new organizing. Southern California has seen a number of these efforts, and the hotel workers and building trades have been leaders. UNITE HERE has fought and won six living wage campaigns, and currently is running a campaign for a $15 living wage for hotel workers in Los Angeles. The building trades have won campaigns for project labor agreements totaling more than $13 billion worth of work in Los Angeles County alone. Leaders and workers from unions will talk about lessons learned and how they’ve gained community and political support to win.
