Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday signed into law a bill by a Los Angeles legislator that will set a statewide $25-an-hour minimum wage for heath care workers.
SB 525, authored by Sen. María Elena Durazo, D-Los Angeles, will require stepped minimum wage increases beginning next year and increasing at varying rates, depending on the type of health care facility, until the wage reaches $25 per hour.
The bill was heavily backed by the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West union, which has been leading initiative drives in many cities -- including Los Angeles -- to put localized $25 minimum wages in place for health care workers.According to the union, the new law will lift wages for about 455,000 workers across the state. It noted that about 75% of those workers are women, and 76% are workers of color.
“We applaud Governor Newsom for signing this bill and making history for California as the first state to lift the floor on health care worker wages to $25.”Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more.
