Current and former hotel workers who work in eight (8) hotels in the LAX Corridor have filed class action lawsuits charging each of the hotels with violating the Hotel Service Charge Reform Ordinance. The suits were filed on September 5, 2007, in Los Angeles Superior Court. Hotels sued include Four Points, Hilton, Marriott, Radisson, Renaissance, The Westin, Embassy Suites, and The Courtyard.
Factual Allegations: The complaints allege that the hotels failed to pay workers service charges as required under the Ordinance. The Ordinance went into effect on January 1, 2007.
The Hotel Service Charge Reform Ordinance: Under the Ordinance, hotels in the LAX Corridor who collect a service charge must pay the entire service charge to the worker performing the services for which the charge was collected. The Hotel Service Charge Reform Ordinance (Los Angeles Municipal Code Charter XVIII, Article 4, Section 184) was enacted December 30, 2006.
Relief Sought: The lawsuits seek to stop the Hotels' alleged unlawful practices. In addition, the suits seek reimbursement of service charges earned by all class members from January 1, 2007 going forward, and other relief.
