Retail and grocery workers in LA, from Trader Joe’s to CVS, will get predictable schedules if City Council says yes.
Come spring, about 70,000 retail and grocery workers in Los Angeles might see more predictable work schedules and other workers’ protections if a Fair Work Week ordinance the City Council is considering on Tuesday, Nov. 22, is approved.
The ordinance would also require employers to provide employees with a “good faith estimate” of their work hours before they’re hired and require businesses to first offer additional work hours, when available, to existing employees before hiring or contracting with new workers. “As we enter the holiday shopping season, we are reminded of our responsibility to support and protect our retail and grocery workers,” Curren Price, among the councilmembers who introduced the ordinance, said in a statement.
The proposed Fair Work Week ordinance would address such issues, advocates say. Similar ordinances have passed in places like San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Philadelphia and Oregon, they noted.
