The Phoenix City Council will consider three sweeping ordinances aimed at protecting the health of hospitality workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A coalition of council members requested a vote on the new ordinances to happen on Wednesday, the council’s last meeting before its summer recess.
“We believe we are putting our residents, travelers and workers at greater risk by not properly addressing the health and financial conditions of our new reality,” Vice Mayor Betty Guardado, Councilman Carlos Garcia and Councilwoman Laura Pastor said in a letter.
