Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti signed an ordinance on July 8 that sets a $25-an-hour minimum wage for healthcare workers in the city, The (San Jose) Mercury News reported. The law covers all private sector healthcare employees who work in hospitals, integrated health systems and dialysis clinics. However, a coalition sponsored by the California Association of Hospitals and Health Systems is opposed to an across-the-board pay increase as it would exclude workers who do the same jobs at public hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities.
