California Court of Appeal
Garcia v. Four Points Sheraton LAX, B210720
In hotel service workers' class action lawsuit against certain hotels near Los Angeles International Airport, for violation of a city ordinance that requires hotels with 50 or more rooms to pass along service charges to those hotel workers who render the services for which the charges are collected, and for violation of the unfair competition law, trial court's dismissal following its order sustaining the demurrers to the complaints is reversed where: 1) the Labor Code does not preempt the ordinance; 2) the ordinance is not unconstitutional, as the classifications in the ordinance are rationally based and do not violate the equal protection clause; 3) the ordinance does not violate due process and is not void for vagueness; and 4) the ordinance is not an unconstitutional taking.
