L.A. County Approves ‘Hero Pay’ Mandate for Grocery Workers
The L.A. County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 today to mandate the pay bump for publicly traded grocery stores, retail drug companies, and companies that have at least 300 employees nationwide and more than 10 employees per store site. This translates into thousands of grocery store workers in unincorporated Los Angeles County receiving $5 an hour in hazard pay on top of their regular wages as part of the county’s “hero pay” mandate that goes into effect Friday and lasts 120 days.
