Seeking to exert control over flights at LAX, the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday again delayed a decision on whether to back United Airlines’ efforts to begin nonstop service to Shanghai, China, the Daily Breeze reports.
“We all recognize the importance of this service, but we also want to send a message to United about concerns we have that they are paying workers a decent wage,” Harbor Area Councilwoman Janice Hahn said.
“This is a multimillion-dollar project for United, and we don’t want to leave behind those workers who clean the airplanes and the terminals and live in Los Angeles.”
The council delayed endorsing the plan last week, when officials said they needed more time to study it.
Officials from United did not return telephone calls.
But Hahn said she met later with United officials who told her they got the council’s message.
