A coalition of forces, including SEIU 721 members, rallied at the Century City Westfield Mall on Aug. 1 because Westfield Group has avoided paying millions in taxes that LA County desperately needs.
‘Pay Your Taxes’
Studies show that the Westfield Group is underpaying taxes by $41 million.
That’s money that should go to fund public schools, playgrounds, fire and police protection, and other local services. Los Angeles County must constantly struggle to do more with limited resources. The County is understaffed and lacks enough resources to provide quality services for all citizens.
If Westfield paid its fair share of taxes, LA County could hire more nurses, build more libraries and provide students with proper materials.
“This could help save the lives of countless patients by improving the quality of care in our county hospitals. We must support the nurses who work tirelessly every day to provide the best possible care to the patients. Westfield needs to pay its fair share.”
