Petersen had previously said it was hypocritical for business leaders to fight wage increases at the same time they were pressing the City Council to spend tens of millions of dollars preparing for a renovation of the Los Angeles Convention Center, a decision made in April.

“The initiative being proposed will kill the Convention Center project that union workers would otherwise have and the tourism industry would benefit from,” the alliance said in a statement.
