American Hotel and Lodging Ass'n v. City of Los Angeles, No. 15-55909 (9th Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseHotels appealed the denial of their motion to preliminarily enjoin the City from enforcing the Citywide Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance. The district court denied Hotels’ motion for preliminary injunctive relief. The court concluded that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the Hotels’ motion for a preliminary injunction to stop enforcement of the City’s Wage Ordinance, because the Hotels failed to show a likelihood of success on the merits. The court has consistently held that minimum labor standards do not implicate Machinists preemption, and the Wage Ordinance is no different. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
