entrance into the chambers but i didn't anticipate our meeting moving so quickly it's my honor to introduce supervisor cowen legislation on san francisco job security ordinance hospitality as many of you know is our corner stone the economy the hotels house and feed over 16 million visitors everyday. this is what we're proud of here in san francisco our ability to serve the region with the tourism attraction that brings residents from around the country it employes 85 thousand workers and contributed to the revenue. this supports thousands of jobs they don't provide stable employment the hotels and food places are sometimes turning
12:49 pm
over fast leading the employees to not have jobs and security when the industry as a whole is tlooifrl. during the changing management with the real risk of losing their jobs simply because one management company is being rfrptd by another. this is effecting other things like our grocery workings. notwithstanding serving customers their subject to submittal without demonstrating their skills to the new management. san francisco has been following the lead of oakland and la la bye promoting stability and job security leads to income
12:50 pm
security and that leads to a healthier tax base that's why the board of supervisors is concerning an ordinance after today's interrogation to insure workers security. the ordinance we're interrogating requires the hotel and large food services to rehire the employees who served from the previous management. when a new owner takes over they have to offer the same employees up to 90 days that worked there jobs. during that time they can optional terminate the workers with just cause. as a result of this ordinance the hotel employees will have skirt to demonstrate to the new
12:51 pm
owners they can do the job. this will bring the stability to our most important employment basis. i want to recognize the folks thank you for bringing this ordinance to us i want to recognize them so they serve many of our restaurants like the comboint stadium. (clapping.) thank you for your service. you know, i met a member earlier before the board in his 27 season at the giant stadium and this is the base we want to support and sherrie know with ownership is changing rapid and thank you to supervisor cowen's office. i do have other items but i want
12:52 pm
to give the supervisor cowen a chance to speak >> supervisor kim has already briefly mentioned today, i'm proud to join her no connership. the hospitality industries are some of the largest and fast even though and ethnicly diverse industries are growing they recommend over $10 billion in economic activity and nearly thirty thousand jobs. those jobs provide opportunity for decent wages and are acceptable to those who don't have college degrees we've seen several new ownership changes but they don't security the security this is the way we say we're standing up with you.
12:53 pm
this carries forward the same policies that supervisor kim recognitions the stability is in employment is vital to san francisco local economy. it specifically requires that upon any change of ownership at a large hotel or stadium concession that the new operator continue to provide jobs for current employees for 90 days to show their quality for the position they currently have and provide them with the needed stability. one of the most significant parts of this legislation is addressed the affordability in san francisco and requires us to do more than just look at housing policies but we look to focus on maintaining and growing
12:54 pm
a difference job opportunities for a diverse community. providing security helps to preferential very key workforce and insures that resident and tourists can continue to benefit from experiencesed workforce. again, i want to thank supervisor kim and the hotel and the chamber of commerce and the mighty local 2 for participation and helping us to further the conversation her in san francisco. i want to lift up our elective aids that have helped to get this piece of legislation andrea.
