LA's labor unions want an exemption from the city's new $15-an-hour minimum wage The Los Angeles City Council recently passed a bill to hike its minimum wage to $15 an hour, a change strongly supported by Southern California labor unions. Except now the unions want a last-minute change in the bill — an exemption for unionized firms, which would be allowed to pay less than $15 an hour if a collective bargaining agreement calls for it.
